Ten

When well seasoned professors who spent decades working in the education field as teachers and administrators consider your teaching a 'ten,' you know you are doing something right. I was fortunate enough to have this exact experience this week, and I could not be more grateful for the tutelage I am receiving at my new school that has so well prepared me for my future as an educator. The right mentor can make all of the difference in the world, and I am lucky to have someone I highly admire offering me encouragement and constructive criticism of my teaching. I feel like I am finally flourishing. Not only have I gotten into the groove of teaching, I really found that I have found my niche in high school English. In a perfect world, this is what I will be teaching (and being paid to do it) in seven short months!
