Reflections!

This past week was filled with a lot of different activities. I had my first teacher observation for NTI, classes were interrupted for testing and my senior level students began their clinical rotations in the field. I had to be very versatile with my planning and at times it became a little overwhelming. These types of situations are unfortunately all to common for a typical day in the world of teaching. This week has helped me to realize that no matter how prepared you are there are always some things you can not control. As a teacher, you try to cover all of your basis and hope that your day goes the way you planned, but in the likeliness that your plan becomes interrupted, your ability to adapt becomes very important. Over planning is always a good idea because you never know what your day is going to bring.
