Season 4, Episode 13: Reflections from Pre-Service Teacher Kayla Canning

During the course of the fall semester, Kayla Canning, a senior, pre-service teacher from Cedar Crest College, shadowed me in the classroom, which was one of my first experiences with.a pre-service teacher. On today's episode Kayla will give her impressions and thoughts of what it's like as somebody that's learning to become a teacher, especially with 9th grade students. She also honestly looks back back on her own ninth grade experience and assesses some of her decisions during that year and how those influenced her choice to be a teacher.
