It was fulfilling experience.The good thingsLifelong Learning. Teachers are lifelong learners who are constantly growing and evolving. Any given school is full of professionals who are in the midst of taking courses, participating in professional development sessions, and earning degrees. It's almost impossible to stagnate because there are always new things to be learned. Keeping up with new research, data, and trends requires a dynamic approach and an adaptable mind, so boredom is out of the question.
Exercising Creativity. Teachers have enormous freedom to create lessons that are engaging and effective for their students. I also saw a need for instruction on evaluating sources and recognizing fake news, so I created a lesson to address those skills.
Building Relationships. I loved listening to their stories about what was going on in their lives. I celebrated with them when they learned about their college acceptances, soothed them through heartbreak, empowered them as women, and marveled at their resilience.
Providing Opportunity and Changing Lives.
The challengesNone. I really enjoyed this school and everything about it. The teachers were amazing as well as my students.
