Student Teaching Practicum at Worcester Technical High School Public

The purpose of this paper is to report my growth as an educator throughout my experience student teaching at Worcester Technical High School. First I will describe the educational environment of Worcester, MA, then of WT, and then of my own classes. Then I will explore the 6 Elements of the Candidate Assessment of Performance, by which teachers are judged in Massachusetts. I will show how I succeed in meeting proficient levels of all 6 elements through the use of documents used in my classroom, and through anecdotes that show the growth of myself and my students. I will conclude by highlighting how my prior education received at WPI helped inform my teaching experience.
