My first experience as a teacher was a very challenging and exciting. When I wore my formal clothes and came out of my room, I saw my parents they were very proud to see me going to school as a teacher. This made me very proud of myself as I have almost completed their dreams. I never thought that I would be teaching a class as a senior in high school. My teaching experience has been incredible and I think I learned as much from the class as the students did.
I thought it would be a great experience. I knew it would look good on my resume. I knew that I would probably learn a lot. However, I didn't realize how much fun it would be. I never had to drag myself to class or felt like it was a dreadful thing. Before I would start class, especially for the first few times, I would get very nervous. But I began to really enjoy it and before long my anxiety about teaching went away.
My typical lesson planning session would go something like this:
Look over my feedback sheets to decide what I was going to teach.
Run through the processes I was going to teach on my own device to see how it works and to try and identify trouble spots.
Do additional research to see if I missed any features that I would want to include...learned that teaching requires more than just reading notes out loud and guiding people through them. It requires reinforcement, seeking feedback, and a million other things that I had never thought of..
Given the opportunity, I would teach again in a heartbeat.
