The aspect of the week that I would change would be switching the the way I presented the to the student's about presenting PowerPoint. Teaching them how to speak and act professionally while they are presenting is something they should know but I don't believe they will do. I want them to be the best presenters possible and what I taught them was good but I should have explained this through a PowerPoint presentation explaining what I expect to see. Showing them what I expect rather then explain what I expect would have been much more productive.
The aspect that I feel most valuable would be managing my time effectively. Having a lot of work to accomplish before leaving for the weekend was very challenging. Getting all my work completed and still creating good lesson plans was hard but eventually accomplished. At fist spending all my time and effort doing work is hard but it is worth it. Allowing myself time to relax is something that I should work on. Being ahead of schedule allows me to do other things which makes me more relaxed. Teaching has become so fun that I really enjoy going to work. The one thing I wanted in a job is to have fun and found that. I am very happy from what I choose to do with my life.

I know exactly what you mean with wanting to have a job that is enjoyable. The quote "Find a career in something you like to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life" certainly applies. So many days I don't feel like I'm "going to work" and that is truly a great feeling. Working with kids is so rewarding in so many ways when it is approached with the right attitude. I'm glad to hear that you have the right attitude and that you are finding the reward because of it.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! It sounds like you're relating very well to your students, and in my experience, that's more than half the battle.
I feel the same way about having a job that you enjoy and at the same time is rewarding. I have had in the past jobs that I really did not feel like getting up and going to work. I too, feel like I'm not "going to work" and that is such a great feeling. Also, it sounds like you are relating to your students which is very important.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week nine!
I am glad that in the middle of the Professional Semester you are finding your career choice to be the best for you. That means as you are connecting the dots, you are having a good time. Happiness on the job is what it's all about! :)
