Greetings dear fellow educators!! I am in my second year as a middle school music teacher. This blog is typically for first year teachers, but I am still in the ILT stages. Last year had many ups and downs and many "broadening learning experiences." I had previously taught high school music in Virgina for a brief period of time and came back to NC. My work environment is a tremendous help to my over all well being! ~ I LOVE my job!
At my current school, we are constantly working on our professional development and becoming a professional learning community through a variety of ways. One example would be socratic seminars. Last month we read "High Five" which dealt with team building concerns. It is so great to work in an enviornment that we have communication and are willing to pull together! I am truly blessed to work with such great people!!! :-)
As educators we are always focusing on reflective practices. Yes, some days will be better than others but reflecting on the plus/deltas of the day will make our jobs easier! I am fortunate as an elective teacher that I have a two day rotation so that I can immediately reflect on each class and then "tweak" areas that may need adjustment.
I am looking forward to being your blogger for this month.
