Justin August, Graduate Student of Education at the University of Pennsylvania

This Fall

This Fall I will be student teaching at Independence Charter School at 17th street and Lombard street in Philadelphia. I'll be in a 3rd grade classroom with a former Penn student. I'm excited by the prospect of seeing another model for charter schools, classroom set up and classroom management. I've found out I'll be using the Investigations math curriculum, which excites me. Having spent time with it at NOCCS I've found I really enjoy the hands-on approach to math concepts.

I'll also be immersed in my schoolwork - balancing these two will be a challenge and it will be fun.
