What I've Learned
It is a scary thought that in a few short years I will be teaching the youth of America and don't really know what to expect or walk into on that first day. Sure I am taking classes and will be taking future classes to prepare me but will I really be prepared for the first day of new career as a teacher. I don't think anyone is ever truely prepared, but you don't really have a choice you just have to take what you have learned and roll with it and hope you can be the best educator. Mr. Clung put into words what most teacher or future teachers are feeling and did it in away that lets you know you are not alone there are others out there that feel the same way.
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am in schools right now, I still feel hesitant about things I should and should not do. I am definitely using Mr. McClung's advice, but everything is a learning process. I believe we have to just practice and become more comfortable in our new setting. I think if we have confidence, we can do anything! You shouldn't worry too much because I am sure you will be a great teacher!
I agree with Jamie Lynn. I currently work at an elementary school that everything is a learning process. Everyday is a learning process for me and I have been working for my school for 2 years. I know that as comfortable as I am right now working with these students, it is going to be completely different when I have my own classroom. Mr. McClung has made some great points and I look forward to putting them to use when I become a teacher.
