Sharing Our Best Teaching Experiences

Tuesday May 26, 2009
Each teacher can recount numerous highs and lows in their teaching career. Personally, I experienced many great moments while teaching. These were days when I ended so happy and enthusiastic that I knew I had selected the right profession. On the other hand, I had days where I definitely questioned teaching as a career. Days where the students seemed uninterested, too talkative, or worse a blow up occurred and nothing got taught. Thankfully the average combined with the positive days outshine my negative days.

Through my 14 years of teaching and working in education, one event stands above the rest as my absolute best teaching experience. Through it I learned so much about teaching and dealing with students. My hope is that the student involved was at least partially changed for the better from the experience as I was.

I'm sure that many of you have wonderful teaching experiences like mine that you would like to share. I would love it if you would share these teaching experiences with me and other teachers so that we can pull inspiration from your experiences.
