Open Mic...The Mic Sounds Nice!
As the end of my first full year approaches, I have a mixed set of emotions. I feel as if I have accomplished some things, but not nearly as much as I wanted to. I believe that I am too hard on myself, because I look at other teachers and they are happy to get by with just a fourth of what I do. The fact is, I probably want more for my students then they want for themselves, and I feel a bit defeated. I am glad however that I am close to finishing one full year, as well as nearing the end of the NTI program. I owe the students for my experience at NTI, because had it not been for them, I would not have a clue as to what a "set induction" is. I am not sure at this point that I will teach another full year, as my career takes me to the next phase, but I am very grateful for the experience as well as my new NTI family.
I agree with Ms. Hurst I am happy that this year is almost over. I have learned alot about teaching and how I am a leader in and out of the classroom as well. This year has had some up and downs but, I always remember that I am doing it for the kids. I have had a great time with classmates in the NTI program and also learned so much.
