About Gabrielle Winters

I am a Longwood University senior. I am 3 weeks from finishing my partnership semester. I will begin student teaching in January 2018 and graduate in May 2018. This blog contains work from my first year of education content through my last year of education content. I will be sharing tips, ideas, stories, and everything else that comes with being a student teacher. I will be continuing this blog as I enter my first year of teaching. I plan to share my experiences in the hopes that I can shed some light on the experiences of student teachers and first year teachers. Please contact me with any questions, tips, concerns, or anything you'd like featured on my blog. Thank you for reading!
