So the past 2 days I have been teaching.
I know.
I missed it a ton.
But what was more neat than teaching - was watching someone teach what I had just taught to the next couple classes. It is really neat to remember when I would see someone teach a lesson and be like "I can do that" and then try and do that and be like "woah... how did they remember to do all those things!?!"
I think this whole being a coach while still so young in my career will really help me remember to relate to the new and growing teachers in a truly empathetic way. Because I really only had one year where I said "I think I know what I'm doing" and was about to being a year where I truly felt I was a good teacher. Now, for sure, I will always always always have room to grow as a teacher - and I intend to. How boring would it be if I didn't?
But I love that I was so into the growth process when I got pulled to help other teachers begin their growth process - I think it is one of my best assets as a coach.
That, and I love it. Loving your job always helps.
Happy Friday!
