Blog 1: Give yourself advice for the first day of classes teaching adolescents.
Think about:
- Your responsibilities
- Your student’s needs
- Buying into the individual
- Your content and curriculum
- Generational differences
My responsibility as a teacher is to keep the classroom in order. I'm not sure how to go about doing so as of yet. I have a whole semester to learn some more about this. The student comes first but I hopefully will not want to get shoved around for everything that they ask. Possible budget issues will prevent me from supplying all supplies. Buying into the individual I guess means that I need to get to know them. There will be some that will completely shut people out and I will have to just let them be. Make sure my content and curriculum is sound.
You will be an old man compared to these kids. They won't know who Creed or Nickelback is probably.
