So I had my first week as an intern teacher. It gave me a lot of feels - most positive, but a few to wrangle with. The first day, I was really, really excited (and the days after). The second day, I felt so incredibly overwhelmed, but I was still excited and I had every desire to be my very best for these students. I was trying to learn the school routines, deal with the fact that I had only had two weeks to plan for four months of schooling, deal with concerns over pacing (and how my unit plans did not reflect my students' abilities and learning needs), and lastly, the pressure of "making it" through practicum and ultimately through my first five years of teaching. But let me say, excitement and eagerness to be my best self for my parents, my students, and my school, was by far the strongest reaction to this new chapter in my life. There's no really good way to organize my reflections, so here's a handful of key learnings I made this week.
Like I said, just a few key learnings. There was plenty more! At the end of this week, one question I have is:
Looking forward to any feedback, comment or questions you have on this question or anything else in this post! M :)
