You have just arrived at
your field site. Your teacher is absent and you have a substitute.
Previously, you have been in charge of monitoring the reading groups each day,
and even though you were not aware that your mentor teacher would be gone, you
know that you need to follow the routine so the students will progress. The
substitute tells you that she has everything under control and you may leave
because there is nothing for you to do. You decide your field site mentor will
have plenty of time to get the reading groups caught up tomorrow so you go to
the classroom next door where your EAT friend is interning. The two of
you move to the corner of the room and work on homework the rest of the period
so you won’t disturb anyone
You can find the scenario on Mrs. Stevens blog
I would text my E.A.T
teacher and my Site School teacher tell them that the substitute teacher told
me that I’m not needed in the classroom and I can leave. If my E.A.T teacher and Site School teacher don’t respond
to my text I will see if another teacher from the same grade need help. I wouldn’t
go to a class that my friend is at cause
that will cause a distraction, and I wouldn’t go to the back of the class to do
home I’m there to learn to how to be a teacher and help out the kids if they
have a question.
