Student Teacher Signs Off
Hello Panther Nation,
As my last week student teaching comes to an end at Knoxville High School, I would like to thank everyone for giving me such a good experience. My experience here has taught me many important lessons that have prepared me well for when I have my own classroom one day. I have had a blast getting to know all the students and staff I had the pleasure to work with. I hope everyone continues to have a great school year and finish strong. I wish everyone the best!
Thank you,
Daniel Coovert
