Learning How to Teach
I'm new to teaching. I haven't a clue what I'm doing, and to make matters worse, I have to teach a very difficult population. I've been experimenting with each new class I teach, trying to figure out the kind of teacher I wish to be, and how best to convey the truth of my subject. I've just realized that I know of a teacher who once faced similar odds, though he certainly knew what he was doing, and did such a good job of it that now he's in the process of taking over the world.

Andrew: Every day for the 32 years that I taught, I was experimenting, tweeking, assessing why something worked or didn't. The teachers who think they know what they are doing at all times are the ones who really aren't growing and getting any better. Truth is, they are boring! You'll do great. Kids are very forgiving of your techniques if they know you like them.
