How has the start of this semester compared with the start of the previous semester? What did you do similarly? Why? What have you done differently? Why?
The first big difference from last semester and this semester is the lack of students in my classroom and the lack of a classroom. This semester I am co-teaching biology and physical science. I am working with two very good teachers and it is interesting but I feel out of place. There are many positives and negatives of this situation. My plan is to work with the positives one only.
Stacy, yes, I think you can find some good positives with your situation. Take advantage of the opportunity to be working with 2 good teachers. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to observe some classes before I ever began teaching. Just be a sponge and absorb as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteHas your school done away with the Healthcare Science program? I have heard that some schools are cutting back on career tech classes in general. And that seems like a crying shame to me. Career tech classes help students to explore various careers before making a final decision about where they want to go with their lives.
Good luck to you as you take on this challenge this semester. I think it might be fun to teach something else besides nursing or healthcare. So think of that as one of the positives too!
