Let me fill you in a little bit more about what I'll be doing. This is my student teaching internship through Cedarville and the state of Ohio. To be licensed I must complete 12 weeks of student teaching. I'll be teaching 5 periods of 12th grade British Literature. The first 2-3 weeks will build up to full time student teaching and will involve observing, one-on-one tutoring, and teaching 1-2 classes a day. Weeks 4-9 will be full time. Weeks 10-12 will be a decrescendo out. This could vary depending upon what my cooperating teaching wants to do, but that's the framework I'm going in with.
I'll be staying with Alec and Jan Forman about a block from the school (no long walks, drives, or train rides for me!). They are originally from England, but have lived in many different countries working as missionaries, staying in Kandern (the little village BFA is in) the last 10 years. I have had some correspondance with them over the summer, and am really looking forward to getting to know them more. I can't wait to hear more of their stories and am grateful to be living with a family who speaks English; it'll make life a little easier. They should be able to help me adjust well and seem very eager to answer any questions and to make me as comfortable as possible. I'm thankful God has provided them.
The village of Kandern is beautiful! I visited there in May of '08 when I was interested in teaching at the school. It is located in a valley surrounded by part of the Black Forest. I have continually heard that the Black Forest region is the most beautiful part of Germany and experienced this first hand while over there in May. I am excited to see what Fall will look like! The Black Forest is located in the very SW tip of Germany. If you climb the nearest hill, I am told you can see into France and the Swiss Alps! Kandern is below Freiburg on the map below.
