This class has taught me many ways to succeed in teaching, but the most important fact that has impacted my learning and has influenced my enjoyment using this platform, is that I am not alone. Many of the fears I have and have had are not unrealistic, and are common fears that I have learned, many teachers have.
I worry all the time about my first impression towards people. Sometimes without saying a word and dressing in a uniform, people will still form an impression that may be based on stereotypes which I dont have any control over. There are other actions that I can model which will create an overall impression of professionalism and competency.
- Being on time - all the time
- Keeping your promises
- Providing students with the tools they need to succeed.
- etc.
