Clinical Observations #2

At the end of last week, Thursday to be exact, I received my placement from the OFE. I am going to be visiting Mount Pleasant High School. So, as soon as I found out, I emailed the API whom I needed to contact. He replied on Thursday afternoon saying that he would be away from the school on Friday and asked me to wait until Monday for my final placement in the school.

Monday came, and I did not hear anything. Then yesterday, I emailed again to ask if he had finished my placement. About an hour later, I received an email from the OFE stating the teacher's name with whom I will be working. So, I have contacted her.

Her name is Ms. Schmitt. She teaches English III and IV. She has another intern who is there all year on Mondays. However, she has agreed to meet with me on Friday of this week. She has first period planning, so she has agreed to give me a quick tour of the building and then check out my assignments for the semester.

As of right now, I am just hoping to get the Clinical Case Study finished on-time. I do not know if I will have adequate time to complete it since I will only have 8 days of observations before the Case Study is due. (Cabarrus County Schools are closed on Oct. 30, Nov. 2, and Nov. 3.) But...I will do my best to have it completed.

I am looking forward to going to MPHS this semester! I think this is going to be a great learning experience!
