Most like- Ruth
Hello all, I feel that this first half of the school year has flown by. As a first year teacher I can truly say what I like most about being a CTE teacher is being a role model for my profession. I feel that even at the high school level, I am helping to mold the future of Healthcare workers. This week was our first week of clinical rotation and I feel so proud of my students. With my pathway we work in a nursing home for at least 24 hours. I think these teenagers are doing a great job. They act professional and mature and I can actually see that learning has taken place. What I like least about being a teacher is the constant meetings and the constant other things I am always having to do that is not teaching the students. At least twice a week we have a meeting during planning. To add to those we have CTE meetings once a month ( local and system wide). It just seems as if teachers are treated like students instead of adults and that's something I have to get used to.
Ruth I agree with you so much about what you like least. All of the meetings and paperwork and computer work all seem to suck up all of the tme we need to be planning for class or preparig for class. I know that we must be accountable as well but some times it seems so overboard. Like you said it seems like we are the students sometimes
