Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. I’ve been teaching for just over a year now. In every other job I’ve had in life, by one year in, I’ve essentially had the “doing” part of the position down pat. I’m often to the point of being bored and subsequently commence looking for new challenges shortly thereafter. Teaching isn’t like that. I feel… Read More Second Year Out. February 24, 2017.

From 3rd May, I will not only be teaching Science with every class from preschool to year six in my school once a week, but I will also be the year 5 girls’ general studies teacher (in parallel with their Jewish Studies and Hebrew lessons), on top of teaching three STEM extension pull-out groups.

Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. What is this educatorlearner you speak of? I’ve arrived at the pointy end of term one – my first as a fully fledged educatorlearner. Whilst there’s been a plethora of fabulous moments in my science lessons to date this term, as any honest early career educator will tell you, there’s been a handful of FAILs (First Attempts In Learning).

Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. On the cusp of something big. Well, big for me. A moment I’ve been anticipating for nigh on 40 years… being a teacher. That is, being a professional teacher. I figure I’ve been a teacher of sorts for most of my life – as a big sister, as a mother, as a Cub Scout leader, and in numerous other professional and… Read More On the cusp of something big.

Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. The pros and cons. In reality, the downsides are broader, and impact not just other teachers, but also the students and the specialist teacher. As a list, the following come to mind, as applicable to my individual situation:. The lack of actual time spent learning is marred by the requirement to collect the class from their regular classroom and then taking them back again at the end. We have single 40 minute class periods at my school, so actual in-lab ...

Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. Last week was, as @mrascience. So eloquently put it, “The holiest week of the year”. National Science Week. A week I never had any concept of prior to 2014. What a pity it required my studying a degree as a post-graduate student to even realise such a thing existed! At the end of the night, I realised how much I’ve missed being with people like that. I had such a wonderful experience at university, mixing and mingling with others at these types of ...Briefly...

Discerning Musings of an Early Career Teacher. Suddenly, it’s the end of week four! If ever time has seemingly flown, it must surely be assigned to the first four weeks of teaching. Whilst I am only teaching three days a week, the hours put into “behind-the-scenes” preparation certainly make actual work time on-par with full-time positions I have previously held. So, a quick synopsis of how things are going:. The majority of students across all 14 classes LOVE their science lessons;. The surprising numbe...
