Having a student teacher is like looking in the mirror all day long. You see everything they do in context to what you do, whould do, should do, don't do, and need to do. You see your own strengths in relation to theirs, theirs in relation to yours, and it's a test of your people skills.
It informs you how well you give constructive criticism, how well you know what to say, and what not to say. It is a test in how well you can say what you need to say. It is a reminder of your own experience and of your own growth.
This being said, my student teacher is wonderful and doing a great job!
It's a lot of work.

Well said Krystal! She is great because you are great!
It sounds exhausting! And I'm sure she is learning loads from you!
