"Anything but a teacher" was my answer to anyone who ever asked me what do you like to be in the future. And what's really funny is that I've been teaching for four years and I'm only 23. I guess God had other plans for me, and these plans made me find my real passion. It turned out that teaching is my passion and special education is where I feel content. Although it was a new and a different experience to me, I managed to hold myself together and do my best.
I think my hard work last year actually payed off , the coordinator specifically assigned to me the responsibility of teaching the elementary classes. It's pretty hard and complicated as I'm working with different levels and different problems (ADHD, Autisim and Dyslexia..) at the same time.
Sometimes I feel that my head is all over the place, but the good thing is that I always have a backup plan and I'm good at improvising.
The one thing I can never describe is the way I feel when I see my kids improve. Seeing them glowing up is what keeps me motivated.
Very appreciative work! Teaching is a very nice journey. I'am teaching too, and I'd would like to share some questions with you about teaching special education students, since you have an experience of 4 years, and I have special education students for the first time this year, so I can receive some help from you to know how to deal with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear!! yes of course I'll be delighted to answer your questions. And if you need anything, I'm here.
DeleteGreat work!! All the best in all your future plans.
ReplyDeletei"m the same as you, at first i hate to become a teacher, but then i found teaching as the best journey you could ever try. good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell how skilled you are as a special education teacher because i had the chance to observe with you once. Working with each and every student alone is not an easy task at all especially because you had severe cases with different needs, levels and grades all together in one place.
ReplyDeleteTeaching is really fun! In fact i wasn't in the domain of "Teaching Lover" but when i observed classes and interacted with students i found it to one of of the most exciting and influencing job where you are raising students that are going to be the future generations for the society.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough to teach a normal class i presume, not along special education students, great effort though i think experience must be necessary, practice alone can't be all you can rely on given the circumstances, nevertheless i'm impressed
ReplyDeleteTeaching is a very nice and hard journey at the same time. Being a teacher brings to you so many responsibilities, and this is the challenge, so by knowing how to deal with different student levels( special needs for example) is a victory. God job and much success in your future!.
ReplyDeleteI see how much you love your students! You called them your kids! When you teach students with difficulties you prove how successful you are because gifted students are already good but when those "other" students bloom, a teacher views her success more clearly! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWell i think we have a mutual interest in teaching students of special needs but you're so lucky that you had the chance to actually experience it. It would be interesting to learn from your experience further more.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, when I decided to be a teacher, I knew I should have human qualities especially mercy and patience.I teach students who have special situations or needs, I really love them and feel responsible for them.Your efforts are great, wish a Good luck for you in your work my friend.
ReplyDeleteSame here, i was not a fan of teacher domain, but then i found it as the best part in my journey.
