15. LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES
My administrator told me I’ve avoided a lot
of the pitfalls most first year teachers
experience. I attribute this to Georgia State
teaching me how to adapt, and providing
me with a variety of teaching strategies.
Adolfo Castellanos
Classroom management was the most
important skill I learned as a student
teacher. Students act in unexpected
ways, so my practicum allowed me see
how teachers respond to unexpected
behavior. Esther Kim
One of the best aspects of the M.A.T.
program was that it provided a full scope
of courses not solely focused on
education. For example, I had to study
research methods and teaching
exceptional children. Mara Johnson
