So, sitting in a workshop about scaffolding lessons today, a little ways into the program I was relating an instance where I tried a scaffold that flopped.
The facilitator asked me to “think back to when you were a first year teacher.”
I had to interject with “well, I AM a first year teacher.”
“Wait, what? You certainly don’t sound like it.”
I have gotten that reaction from no fewer than half a dozen other professionals… apparently I don’t talk or act like a first year. I’ve been called a “natural” by my AP, my principal, my mentor and my professor.
Yeah, I think I’m on the right path now…
