Click on the link above for the inspiration for my year of guest teaching!
I saw this on social media and thought it was such a great idea. I wanted to do it! So here I am and I hope to blog each week about my adventures.
I want to guest teach for several reasons. First, it is a great way to interact and meet all students. I can see them in an academic setting and hopefully even work one on one with them. I can see their daily struggles and triumphs. I hope to have fun with them and learn with them. And I want them to see me in a new and different way as well. I am not an expert in every subject. I'm afraid to go to Mr. Norton's algebra and geometry classes! I don't know what I will do in art or industrial tech! And I barely speak any Spanish. Students will be able to see me work hard and try to learn something new - just like them.
Second, I want to connect with our teachers and staff. I know how hard they work each and every day. I want teachers to know I believe that and recognize their efforts. I also want to become more familiar with the curriculum in areas that are not my specialty. I hope to work closely with teachers as they develop their lesson plans.
So, check this blog for weekly updates! I hope to guest teach in my first classroom next week!
