Student Teaching at the Boston Latin School

Mr. McCluskey hard at work...

The Boston Latin School



I completed my student teaching practicum at the Boston Latin School, the oldest school in America. I started teaching in late February and finished up in May. For the majority of my 11 weeks there, I taught two Algebra II courses and one Algebra I course; my students were freshmen and sophomores. Every day was a unique learning experience: from dealing with discipline to making math both understandable and enjoyable. Here's some pictures of my last days as a student teacher...

Pictures!
