From Midlife to Midterms: The Teaching Years
Just a dream
Not smart enough, didn't know enough
Would it be like the movies? Engaged students, eager to read and write?
How it happened, Annie's email
1st Semester
Thought it would be a full course, had to create one
Anxiety
Leaned on mentors a lot
Be yourself! Ok, well, maybe
Not one but two classes!
Remember all the names!
Student Challenges
Lates, absences and the "emergencies"
showing up everyday but not doing anything
No accountability
The public system has failed
Mental health days
Cramps are too bad to come in
Family issues that cause dropouts
Being kicked out of the house
They aren't here to learn it, just pass it
AI
Nightmare
Caused me to be more creative with assignments and work
When the lightbulb does come on
Realizing that perfection doesn't exist
Have fun with writing! Activities
The nice compliments
Student wanting list of period pieces to watch
The quiet students getting the most out of it
My challenges
Not believing about perfection
Too focused on outcomes
Forgetting the fun
