Qualities For Next LTI

The qualities that I am looking for next years LTI are that I want to intern at a place that I am comfortable and that I would have a mentor that had the same qualities that the mentor that I worked with had. I have already experience what is like to be a teacher for almost seven months and I have to say that I would pursue that career but I want to explore any other interest that I have right now. I would love to work at a science place or a bakery. I would be more than happy to stay at my internship for one more year but I don't know if I would be missing out on other opportunities that er out there that might benefit me in the future. I would work with a mentor that always checks up on me, I mean a mentor that is on your side and that is guiding you every step of the way. For example if I decide to work at a bakery I would first want to be guided on how to bake stuff but as I get better I would love to become independent and bake cakes by my self. I would also like to work at a place that is in the bay area and not in San Fransisco because i am not ready to be somewhere far away. I want to stay as near as possible from my fmaily. I an not ready to venture out of the Bay area but on the other hand I know that this will benefit me in the future.

Another Topic

Another topic that is debated at my LTI is having the ELD class for the students. My mentor and all the teachers agree that having that class really is not that engaging to them. When it comes to teach the ELD class my mentor does not look forward to it, she says that the class is boring to them and that they don't focus as much as my mentor would like them to focus. I could see that my mentor does not like that class and that she has a difficult time maintaining their focus. I mean it the end of the day and they all want to go home and rest. That would be another topic that they are most likely to debate over. Also depending on what level the students are they would go to either ELD of AED. But really it annoys my mentor that they have to do it. Me personally don't see what the point of the class is. Most of the thing that they are learning they have already learned in kindergarten. I mean it words that they hear int the daily baisis and that they should know by the 1st grade. Their are many students that are very high academically and they go to the AED class. But overall me, my mentor, and all the other teachers don' t see why they do this.

Debating topic

At my LTI there are a few topic that are debated at my internship. The topic that they always debate are the how they arrange the time for the students to go to lunch. My mentor does not like the way that they arrange the time. She says that it very frustrating to have the students wait until it is the time to go in. I also agree with her because the students should not have to wait for them to get the food ready. I mean that if the class come to the cafeteria early they should not wait any longer because they get really hungry. One time my mentor lead her students to lunch earlly and they told her that they need to wait outside until they were ready. It was actually time for the students to get there lunch but the women did not see the time. Also on top of that she wouldn't let my mentor near the food. They said that they need to get their food by themselves. I got was really shocked by the way that they were not doing there job well and they way they are always grouchy and yell at all the teachers.
