The emotions of a teacher can be characterized by emotions a person feels everyday - just heightened! Like that magnet on your refridgerator, you may feel smug one day and completely uncertain of yourself another. You may feel frustrated at your kids during the beginning of the year and in utter adoration of them towards the end. My story as a teacher will go through my many moods as teacher. It will explore how my experiences in the classroom are multifaceted and have lead me to sometimes question my decision to pursue teaching as well as the times that have led me to want to do nothing else.

Today I feel...
As a teacher, you go through many emotions in the classroom. On the first day you may feel nervous or excited to meet your new pupils, on the next several weeks you might feel overwhelmed by the pressures of setting up a classroom community and establishing the rules for your classroom. As you see your students learning, you will feel a sense of accomplishment that you have done your job well. As the middle of the academic year nears you may be anxious about whether what you have taught your kids will transfer onto their standardized test scores.

There are so many events that can happen in the class to evoke different emotions in our experiences in the classroom. I think it will be fascinating to see how the emotions that you experienced in the classroom shaped your development as a teacher. I can't wait to see you video! :)
