Future Career

I've been thinking a lot lately about my future career. I'm in the Bachelor of Education program at Grant MacEwan at the moment, and I'm aspiring to become a teacher. I'm actually excited about this. I look forward to my classes and the overall idea of being a teacher.

Tomorrow i have my ED-FX class, and it's actually pretty cool. We're pretty much creating a school within the classroom. We've divided up the class according to our desired majors and we've created a school with teachers for the K-12 system. It's actually pretty well rounded, we have teachers for every course except for math haha. no one wants to be a math teacher. I like this class the most so far because it's giving me an idea of what my first few months of teaching with be like. We're preparing the classroom as we would if it were our first day teaching. We're creating the environment, the tone, and the overall feel of the classroom so that it is inviting for new students. I read a quote earlier this week about teaching,  " How can we open the minds of others, if we do not keep an open mind ourselves?" I really like this because it reminds me that if i become a teacher, i have to maintain an open mind to all the possibilities and create my own way of teaching, one that works for my unique students.

Anyways... Here is day 2 of Operation 365. Enjoy!
