In the Spring of 2020, I was a student teacher at Auburn Middle School. During this time, I worked towards receiving my Massachusetts Initial Teaching License in Technology/Engineering while completing my Interactive Qualifying Project. To receive the license, I demonstrated proficiency in six elements: well-structured lessons, adjustments to practice, meeting diverse needs, safe learning environment, high expectations, and reflective practice. I describe my growth in these elements, the classes I taught, and how WPI prepared me for this experience. I have also included sample lesson plans, assessments, and student feedback to further show my development as an educator.

Before student teaching, I lacked confidence and struggled with public speaking. I have grown to be more confident in front of the classroom and my public speaking is much better.
