Quote-Beverly Sills- Ruth
As a CTE teacher this quote is very encouraging. It makes me feel that I am doing the right thing by trying. I work at a school in which a lot is expected of teachers. This may be the case everywhere, but I really don't understand it. It seems if there is a job to be done, someone says " the teacher can do it". As a new teacher I often find this difficult.This quote makes me feel that it's not all about getting it right all the time, but it's about putting forth effort. I may not succeed in every area this year, but maybe more areas next year. After thinking about this quote I will try more and I will not beat myself up when I have a failure, instead I will find a way to learn and grow from my mistakes. Ms. Sills' quote is also going to help me to have a different view on industry certification ( another to do). I am going to give it a good try , but I am not going to stress out. Starting this new career as a CTE teacher has really taken me out of my comfort zone, but it is very rewarding and I enjoy what I do.

ReplyDeleteTeaching is truly rewarding. No day is ever dull or boring. There is always work to be done and we are going to get better and better. I'm glad to have the opportunity to experience this with others like yourself (New CTE teachers).
