essay on my first day at school as a teacher.
Answers
Answer :
Your first day of school as a teacher will be one to remember. That sense of excitement and nervous apprehension will definitely raise your adrenaline and get your heart racing. It’s the start of an amazing journey and one that will leave your mark on this world forever. You will inspire generations. You will make a difference to so many people.
In life, our values embed young. Our understanding, knowledge and temperament evolve though and so my first ever teaching practice lesson on my BEd was with a bunch of Post 16 students – talk about scary! All those experiences don’t prepare you for that moment when you start teaching as a qualified teacher however, when you’re not being observed almost all of the time. The thing I remember most is walking into the room that I would be teaching in and realising it was real. As my eleven year old Year 7 tutees filed into my room, their faces pensive and nervous about their first day at the school too, it was pretty scary! We started talking and I ran some ice-breaker activities and before we knew it the bell had gone for break and two hours had gone by.
I did what (I guess) many teachers did and prepare my lessons to the hilt for my first day. I spent more time organising activities and preparing resources for those first two hours than the two hours it took to spend that time together. If I can offer you any advice, do whatever you can to ensure you never spend longer preparing a lesson than the lesson takes. Sure there are times when changes in syllabi in relation to books to study in English for example, might take extra preparation or if you have to teach a new area of History you hadn’t studied before. Another truism is that as you develop in your career so you will not only have more resources to turn to (especially if you’re a connected teacher sharing resources amongst your PLN such as is seen on #teamenglish) but you will also become far more efficient. You will have developed your skills and in turn you will become better at what you do.
