Student Teaching and Sorority President?

[KSUViolet06]

Double-posting, but I student taught as an adult in a career change and I still found it to be rather demanding. You are not just WATCHING. You are being a teacher every day. Also, depending on your state, you are also completing the necessary exams and state requirements to get your teaching license at the same time.

If you're in Ohio, that means you're completing the TPA (three separate tasks requiring you to record yourself teaching, upload your assessment data, lesson plans, etc. and write 10 page commentaries on each video while analyzing your data and uploading graphs, student work, etc. to the state scoring system to be scored by ODE.) You're also taking your OAE exams if you have not already done so.

I couldn't imagine doing all of that and having to be concerned with (for example) Officer Academy.

That, and your schedule depends on your cooperating teacher, grade, etc. I student taught in an elementary school. We did not dismiss until 4. Had I been a college student, I would have been getting home at 4:30 and heading to a COR at 5:30. If it were during fall, I would have missed recruitment entirely.
