OK, so... I'm teaching.
I have been plopped into a short temporary teaching positio. I'm teaching Grade 6 Math, Language Arts and Phys.Ed. I am so outside my comfort zone.
What I like about teaching, more specifically subbing, is the variety of students and subjects I meet. I enjoy the challenge of classroom managment and I also enjoy seeing a different set of faces each day. I am not as strong in the lesson planning & evaulation & assesment. It makes me nervous to be responsible for students' day to day progress. I hate the thought of someone doing poorly, or struggling. I feel so disorganized and unsure of myself.
Hopefully in the next few weeks I will grow and become stronger in the areas that I am weak in. Hopefully I will start sleeping again and remembering to eat lunch. Hopefully I will be helpful to the students and staff that have welcomed me warmly, and been very understanding over the last 3 days of classes. Hopefully I will develop a new understanding of my abilities and will over come my fear of failure in this setting. Hopefully by teaching, planning, listening, trying, even failing, I am being obedient to God's will for my life and I will have no regrets regardless of the out come.
Hopefully I make it ghrough tomorrow, and the next day and the next...
I am praying for you! I hope we can do coffee this week!
ReplyDeleteI was praying for you this morning, specifically about your next four weeks. I hadn't even read your blog, yet. With the Lord on your side, you won't fail. I think you would be, such an awesome teacher.
