I cannot believe that I am almost at the end of this leg of the journey. It has taken me 11 years, and now I am here standing on the precipice of reality. Deep breath.
Looking at all of the websites that I have created throughout my pre-service teaching career, I hope that I will be able to use the content in the future. I feel very confident in the site designed for high school, even though I know it will need some adjustments.
Currently, I am taking a small break from updating and uploading all of the content I have taught this semester. Thinking about what I taught feels like I did a lot but when it is viewed in written form it feels like there was not enough time and I could have taken things a lot further. I feel like one of the things I should work on in my first year of teaching is timing. How do I facilitate the maximum amount of learning in such a short amount of time? I then question how much control over my curriculum I will be privy to in my first job. In my high school placement the art department was 100% in control of their curriculum and how they assessed. I feel like it is a very similar situation for the elementary placement. I am worried I will not have enough documentation for the elementary placement. Things move so quickly there it is sometimes difficult to take moment to grab the camera and document the learning.
Deep breath.
Okay reality I am ready for you! ;)
