PARKERSBURG The West Virginia University at Parkersburg spring 2021 student teacher candidates are making the final transition from student to professional by sharing the classroom with experienced teachers in Jackson, Wirt and Wood counties
The college’s Education Division has presented Morgan Carez, Heather Carpenter, Paige Flanigan, Rashelle Hamilton, Shane Johnson, Sarah Davis, Laura Maidens, Samantha Paxton, Breanna Pelfrey, Tkeirston Sams, Lauren Seckman and Paiten Wotring as student teacher candidates.
“This student teaching experience will give me practice in running a classroom full time,” Wotring said. “I’ve been told that nothing can truly prepare you for having your own classroom, but student teaching certainly helps! This will be a guided practice of my future job, where I will have the support needed to succeed.”
