What was the moment (or
moments) this past week when you felt most connected, engaged, or
affirmed as a teacher - the moment(s) when you said to yourself, "This
is what being a teacher is really all about"?
I must say that because of my passion for teaching, I (always) feel connected and engaged with my students. In general, we as teachers face challenges on a daily basis to include (but not limited to) communicating effectively with our students, classroom management, creating ways to prevent misbehavior, developing good and positive working relationships with our students, and the list go on..... These are challenges that I welcome each day I teach a class. It is the Art of the Possible, how much can I get accomplished today with my students? How much can I teach them? I enjoy developing different ways to deliver my instruction to ensure that my students absorb and understand what I'm teaching. There's an ole saying:
"A man who finds a job that he really likes - will never work a day in his life"
Teaching is not a job to me, it is a passion, and to me - That is what being a teacher is really all about!
The passion is evident.I hope you get a teaching job soon, your students will be blessed to have you as I teacher.
ReplyDeleteI had to get a sub two times in the past month, it is really hard to leave MY KIDS with someone else.I also stress over how much I reached the students.
