During the beginning of my internship, I supported teachers with lesson planning, supervision, trips, breaktimes and general administration. This was an informative experience on understanding interpersonal relations within the teaching staff, what it takes to be disciplined and committed to the work and how to conduct myself in a professional manner. In addition, this first step enabled me to learn and understand the daily routines of each department and the responsibilities that come with teaching infants or young children. Since we need to be co-ordinated as a whole unit it was a great experience in teamwork as well.
Once I had proved my competency and that I could be trusted with more demanding responsibilities I began to actively led workstations/parts in lessons before eventually planning and teaching lessons all together. This culminated in a “test” where the director of the institution observed one of my lessons and capabilities before offering me feedback and the possibilities of employment.
I have the opportunity to be employed as a teacher at this institution after graduation! Since I am interested in education but am unsure about what level to specialize this would be an excellent opportunity for me find out what I want! I’ve always wanted to live in Japan so I think this is what will be next for me!
