On Monday, there were three new teachers that came in from the Decorah area. They tried to explain to us their prospective on their new experiences with teaching. It was very interesting to learn their views toward teaching after just newly experiencing it. A couple of them came from smaller school districts and therefore were more than just teachers. It was neat to hear how the male teacher was involved by being various head coaches, special ed teacher, as well as the athletic director. His stories were neat because at his school, all of the students have lap top computers. He explained to us how internet sabby they are, considering everytime they had a break or free time, they would all check their email and get on facebook at a young age.
It was also interesting to hear Jess Tangen talk about her recent expierences. Jess is my track coach, so I haven't ever gotten the opportunity to hear about her stories. It was nice to finally get to do that.
Overall, I thought it was good to hear what the new teachers had to say. It gave me an idea of where I want to go in the future and different things they wish they would have known before where they are at now.
It was so great to hear from all the new teachers. I really liked hearing about Jess Tangen's experience because she is what I want to be. I also liked how she told us stories about her opportunities and her experiences in a Catholic school. She made me really think about what I am going into. It made me really excited to start my career, but it also scared me. This also gave me a great idea to my future!. I know now that I really am doing what I love!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to hear from all these new teachers. I especially could relate to the male teacher because he is in Special Education, which is where I will most likely end up. It was great to hear that even though he was a Special Education teacher he was able to coach many different sports in the school. This is exactly what I want to do, because sports are a huge part of my life. But, I've heard from many people that Special Education takes up a lot of your time and you won't be able to coach as well. It was good to hear a success story about Special Education and coaching. And that I will be able to do both in a school!
