Components of a Good Practicum Placement: Student Teacher Perceptions.

Abstract

In the secondpracticum had instant rapport with my associate teacher; she made me feel very comfortable. One of the first things she said to me was, I understand how important this report is, and don't want you to worry because m not going to give you a bad report. She also said, You know, you 're here to learn, you 're hereto make mistakes; we all make mistakes when we 're starting. So she gave me the freedom to experiment that didn 't have during the first practicum. (Liz, student teacher)
