I'm teaching English right now at Roy High School. I'm teaching 11th and 12th grade.
The first day I taught, I realized that I had chosen the right major in college. Teaching is definitely my calling in life (well, as far as jobs go...).
I haven't really had a day yet where I come home and just complain about my job.
Every day is awesome. Sometimes, I am disappointed in the students' work, but they're cool enough that it's worth trying again the next day.
So, if I had to sum up student teaching so far, it would basically be like any inspirational teaching movie. Roy's kinda sketchy with some kids that have made some really bad decisions in life. I've done a lot of crazy teaching techniques to get them to learn, and so far it's worked out great.
So pick a movie: Freedom Writers, Coach Carter, the works. That should give you a good idea of life at Roy High.
Life is good at the Harker home, though.
There's your update for now!
I am so glad you love teaching, Zoie! Sounds like a really rewarding job. Are you going to keep teaching at Roy after your student teaching is over?
ReplyDeleteI hope so! I'm going to substitute teach for the remainder of the year there, at least, and then see if I can get full-time next school year.
