Student teaching is a rewarding experience for a future teacher. I student taught in Newport, Rhode Island at Rogers High School. This school is considered to be in an urban setting; there were many students who gave me a hard time. I was excited but nervous to be in charge of my own classroom and to be left alone with the students for the first time.
One day, I brought a technology station into my classroom. I was afraid that something would go wrong and I would not be able to do my lesson, however that was not the case. I finished the lesson and it was successful, so I felt I could breathe a sigh of relief. However, there were many cords and plugs because of the mobile station. I was walking in my high heels moving in front of the station and suddenly, my heel got caught on a cord. As I began to fall, my hands reached for the table and without thinking I started to curse. The class clown heard me and exclaimed, “Ms. Bernot! You said ‘Sh*t’!” I denied it, but turned red from shock and continued walking. To this day, I am cautious when there are cords and backpacks on the floor in my classroom.
