Plainville High School Mr. Ditter’s Classes

By Kyle Fox, Student Teacher

This semester I’ve had the pleasure of student

teaching under Mr. Ditter. In the spring of 2013 I

visited Plainville High School to complete some

observation hours to satisfy my Early Field

Experience credit hour. After completing 20

observation hours and hearing “Ditter stories” from

alumni I always kept Plainville in mind for when

the time came to request a school to student teach.

Two years have come and gone and Mr. Ditter was

gracious enough to welcome me back into his

classroom for the semester. I’m back in Plainville

completing my student teaching before I graduate

on May 15th

. My last day will be on May 5th

and

will conclude the four month journey which seems

as if it begun just last week.

My experience kicked off on January 5th

and for

the subsequent weeks I was just trying to familiarize

myself with everyone and settle into a routine. My

experience is unique in that I have had the

opportunity to observe and be part of the Cardinal

Page 4

Creations business downtown. The applied business

class is the last step in a career and technical

education pathway that gives students hands-on

experience and an idea of what they may or may not

want to pursue after high school. I believe this gives

Plainville students an advantage over other high

school students. After observing Mr. Ditter for a

couple weeks I put my own teaching styles/methods

into play with his Computer Applications courses.

The next class I had the opportunity to teach was

the Entrepreneurship class which gives students the

background to apply skills to business. I look

forward to beginning my own teaching journey and

utilizing my experience here.
