| Annette Sprenkel, 2014 Student Teacher |
Annette (@AnnetteSnook) grew up in Middleburg, PA where she
was an active member in the Midd-West High School agriculture program. She just
finished her student teaching at Juniata High school where she taught a total
of 14 units reaching 119 students.
She chose Juniata High School because she wanted to experience
a program different from the one she grew up in. She was familiar with a two
teacher program that was both males and Juniata was a one teacher department
run by Mrs. Jessica Morgan. This and many other factors drew Annette to
Juniata. She stated “There was also something about the community and students
that was different from other places I visited; it just felt right at Juniata.
Turns out this was the best/most important decision I've ever made!”
Along with the units she taught, Annette did coaching in
public speaking as well. Check out the promotional video she made!
After 15 weeks in the classroom Annette’s greatest take away
was that “no matter what you know and how good you can teach, it is nothing if
you cannot connect to the students! Making relationships is the most important
AND rewarding thing you can do!” After student teaching, her future goal is to
teach Ag forever!
