>> My name is Rebecca West Burns and I am currently an assistant professor at the University of South Florida. I work with pre-service teachers so I work with them in their junior year all the way through their senior year and help them, support them in their field internship experiences. I could be in the morning in the school with children working in a classroom with kids while my student teacher is teaching alongside, you know, her mentor teacher. Or I could be sitting in a conference with three of them. And then after that I might be in a meeting with university faculty. And then I might be writing for a period of time. And then I might be in another meeting. And then I might be back at the schools with the collaborating teachers or working with principals, so it varies greatly.
