My Thoughts before candidate teaching Will I be able to remember the daily schedule? Will I be able to remember the students names? What if I am not creative enough? What will I do with a difficult student? What will inclusion be like? Will it make it tough? What is the co-teacher like? How much planning will I be doing? 10
