Welcome to my portfolio!

Andrea

Hi, my name is Andrea Balarezo and I was Chosen as one of 59 Penn State University Elementary Education majors to participate in a collaborative 185 day, full time elementary student teaching internship in a 1st/2nd grade multi-age setting in the State College Area School District (Pennsylvania).  This program received the 2009 Award for Exemplary Professional Development School Achievement from the National Association for Professional Development Schools, the 2004 Holmes Partnership Award for the best partnership between a university and a school district and the 2002 Distinguished Program in Teacher Education Award from the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE).

I am using this blog as a place to post my work and reflections throughout my internship.
