the best first year teacher
Preparing to be observed teaching a lesson in reading
For you the most challenging subject to navigate
Turning your teacher evaluation into an opportunity
To improve and learn new methods and skills.
On my part I salute your verve taking this initiative
What makes you such an exceptional person
Daring to go beyond your proficiency in safe subjects
Having the confidence that you will master this one, too.
Afterwards we listen to you describe how it went
Getting all the details comparing the lesson with the plan
What actually happened and how you adjusted on the fly
Judging yourself against your own very high standards.
What you say to your students who fret about perfection
An inner voice could speak the same words to you
The advice that you give is the advice you might take
Be satisfied with yourself when you do the best that you
can.
