Tuesday, we Teacher Candidates will each be out in our respective placements as we start the first practicum portion of this final year. It's all rather exciting and nervous making as each experience will bring with it challenges and excitement and plenty of learning experiences.
I will admit that I am nervous. As much as I "don't want to mess up" as a teacher, I am more concerned with failing the students. It's one thing to blunder through lessons and another to merely fail at keeping the students engaged and failing to transmit the necessary knowledge. That is what makes me nervous.
I also recognize, however, that I cannot spend all of my time worrying about tomorrow or the next day. One foot in front of the other; that's all I can do for now.
In one of my classes this week, the professor shared the following YouTube video. It got all of us laughing and in a positive mindset. As I go forward, I will do so with that optimism, I will do my best and learn lots in the process.
Enjoy!
