Report on my experience as Helper

From June 6th until September 23th

Firstly, Antonella and I had approximately six classes of observation, in which we met
Lorena, the 4th year teacher from the 4th division of ENOVA high school, and the thirty
students who make up the course. Classes were on Mondays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:50
a.m. and Fridays from 8:10 a.m. to 8:50 a.m.
After the observation period, Antonella began to develop her didactic sequence and I
was her helper. The job of a helper is to help in whatever the student teacher needs,
whether it is cleaning the board, handing out photocopies, asking for silence,
monitoring activities or being close to those students who need flexibility and more
attention from the teacher.
My experience as Antonella's helper was very good and positive. I tried to be as
dynamic and helpful as possible. She developed her sequence very well in each class
and the students responded well to that. Every correction or advice that the teachers
gave her was also taken by me, since after she finished it was my turn.
When you are a helper, you always have to be willing to help and speed up those little
tasks that can take up class time for the student teacher. Based on my experience, I
can say that Antonella was a great pedagogical partner and it was very nice to have
been able to help her from my place of helper.
