5 Ways Being a Substitute Teacher Can Help You as an Education Major
When I was in college, my end goal was to graduate with my BFA in Art Education. I enjoyed art classes all throughout high school and thought it would make sense to further study art and maybe teach in my own classroom someday. As an education major, I was required to gain "field experience" where I had to acquire 40 hours of classroom experience in a middle school or high school setting. The college set up our field experience locations and I went to 2 different schools and pretty much observed how the art teachers in those schools worked and managed their classrooms. As nice as it was to gain some insight of a real classroom setting, I never really took charge. I would just be there to help every now and again and sit back and watch how the teacher orchestrated the classroom.

Anxiety and Gut Health
Let's clear the air here for a moment. It can become increasingly overwhelming to see people make CONSTANT posts on Facebook and other social media sites that have to do with promoting "life-changing" or self-marketing products. Once I have seen the same posts over and over again, I tend to tune out the testimonials and whatnot and move on to watching hilarious videos instead (you need to check out Darren Knight's "Southern Mama" if you haven't already!).
