    Janice,
        My student teaching experience was wonderful. I made up my mind
    beforehand that it would be. I had heard so many horror stories about
    terrible cooperating teachers. I said to myself "I am going to keep an open
    mind and be totally teachable, I will take what works for me and leave the
    rest. I will not take things personally.I will be early everyday and stay
    late." I was also scared to death, but I acted as if I had confidence and
    eventually it came. I did have two great co-ops. I did not agree with all
    their methods but I learned so much. I did not make our disagreements a
    sticking point. I tried to communicate with them constantly so we had no
    misunderstandings. I asked them often for feedback and I did not get
    defensive when criticized.
         It was exausting and exhilarating all at once and before I knew it it
    was over.Save absolutely everything. Take tons of pictures. The kids will be
    your joy!
    Good Luck-and feel free to ask questions along the way. I did not have
    access to this list at the time, but it would have been a wonderful help.
