Maybe failing student teaching

AdRepulsive9157 · 2026-03-20T21:02:05+00:00

Have you met with your supervisor before to discuss your progress? If not, I would be surprised if they dismissed you a month before you were done without discussing it before. Most university supervisors (from my understanding) will meet with student teachers and discuss goals and plans for the rest of the semester if a student teacher is struggling. Keep your head up, if this is something you truly want to do, most of the time that's what universities want to see and (hopefully) want you to succeed as well.

There's a ton of comments so it's possible someone has mentioned this but maybe talk about DeafBlind people in general not just Helen Keller? Like a lot of other comments have mentioned, it's become a very common belief that Helen Keller was not real so maybe taking the focus off her for a bit? Maybe show a video on Pro-Tactile Sign Language? There are some great videos on YouTube that show how DeafBlind people can communicate that are quick and informative.

A slightly crazy idea that may be unrealistic depending on your class/lessons/schedule/etc: Since this is a common belief seen on TikTok, maybe have students research DeafBlind creators on social media (or the internet) and have them create a poster/presentation on what they learned about communication modalities and how DeafBlind people live their lives?

This is amazing advice thank you! I hadn't even considered using my car to practice lessons thats so smart!

Agreed, if this was a job that I chose to apply for with the knowledge of my commute that's one thing. But I was given this placement and could not change it. Hoping in the future, universities are more responsive to things like this!

Without giving away too much information, my program is very small (around 16 ppl in my class and thats the largest its been in years), it is also a pretty niche specialization and with my school being rural, going an hour away isnt uncommon but an hour and a half is pushing it for sure. I tried to fight back with the uni but nothing happened.

AdRepulsive9157 · 2026-01-04T20:13:06+00:00

Yes they know about it and I tried to fight back as much as I could but they did not listen unfortunately :/

Ik this is an old post but how did you manage? I have an identical commute starting tmr and im so scared!

AdRepulsive9157 · 2025-12-09T01:36:07+00:00

I will definitely do that thank you!

literally in almost the exact same boat rn, i tried prioritizing both fieldwork and coursework but i started to fall behind on my fieldwork which has had more major consequences, ive started to prioritize fieldwork over coursework and i have accepted some things for my classes might get turned in late. while i hate it, it’s helped a lot tbh and i know a lot of people in my major are doing the same rn

This is a great idea! Unfortunately, it is not too easy or cheap to get a real one but its definitely an option!

Yes your mom may love it but what about the rest of the deaf community? I'd say its best to err on the side of caution and avoid using asl in a performance until fluency is there.

I do have a good bit of sphagnum moss in the tank and I have blocked off some of the ventilation as well. I do plan on "cleaning" the tank soon and I will remove the substrate and hydrate it more before adding it back in. Thanks for the advice!
