Pencils (or keyboards) at the ready! Today begins the first
entry of our year of reflection. If you’re just joining us, welcome! During the
first week of each month, I’ll be posting a question that encourages you to
reflect upon your experience as an educator. By answering these questions privately
or in the comments, we’ll grow stronger as educators and discover more about
ourselves in the process.
Entry 1: What are you most excited about this year? What
makes you nervous about the start of a new classroom adventure?
My Response: Like many teachers, I always get a bit nervous
to meet my new students. We’re about to embark on a year-long adventure together
and I’m anxious to create positive relationships with each of them so that we
can create a classroom community that encourages learning, participation and
respect. Of course, while I’m a bit nervous to meet my new students, it’s also
something that I’m really excited about! I look forward to getting to know each
one of them over the course of the school year and helping them grow as
individuals. Besides meeting my new students, something else I’m excited about
is finding new ways to grow as a teacher. I’m on the hunt for new professional
development opportunities that will offer effective strategies for my
classroom. Let’s get this school year started!
I invite you to join us in the August reflection! If you’d
like, leave a response in the comments below or write it down in a journal all
your own.
