Student Teachers Rock!

One of my colleagues, Ralph Carnesi, is finishing up the semester with a student teacher, Nick Gearing. I thought it would be helpful for all of us to read the views of a student teacher.

Nick's words:

I am finally graduating from Arizona State University after taking 6 years off from my education. I originally attended the University of Northern Colorado on a talent scholarship, but decided I was not on the right path for that particular time. I have spent the last 2 1/2 years as a Sundevil, and it's been a great experience, but I am ready to start this next chapter in my life. I am a graduate of Greenway Middle School and Paradise Valley High School, both of which are schools I have done my fieldwork in. I am a PVUSD guy, what can I say?
