Responsibilities
Duties: Observe presentations on substance abuse prevention and adolescent pregnancy prevention Work up to teaching or co-teaching Attend trainings and coalitions on prevention policies Office work/class preparation: printing, copying, organizing
Accomplishments
I independently taught classes on substance abuse prevention and adolescent pregnancy prevention.
Learning experience
I learned how to teach from a curriculum. I would now feel comfortable picking up a curriculum I have never observed and teach it.
What advice would you give?
Get out of your comfort zone. I was scared to speak in classes when I started and speaking in classes ended up being the highlight of my internship.
