I agree with Honoree...if you have confidence the students will look up to you because they will see that you know what you are doing. You also need to make sure that you are taking things seriously. If the students see that you don't really care, then why should they care.

I think that student teaching is one of those things that either reinforces your desire to be a teacher or discourages you, based on the experience with the students. I agree with the previous statements of being confident and serious to a certain degree. When I was in Jr. High, we had a student teacher come in and for a few weeks taught our classes. The problem was that this person did not work on the songs with us that the teacher specifically wanted us to, and we the students knew that. We also could tell that the teach was upset when he found out, so I think that it was difficult for the student teacher to win back respect and trust in what he was teaching. If this student teacher would have communicated better, plus at least would have accomplished some of the things that our teacher wanted us to, I think he would have had a better experience.
