2 Legit 2 Quit However...

I think learning to teach is hard. Really hard. Because there really isn't anything to learn. Nothing that will prepare you for the real education world anyways. I can learn how to draw up lesson plans, prepare questions from Bloom's Taxonomy, memorize Vygotsky's educational pysch theories...but in the end, I just don't feel prepared. I get up in front of the classroom, and it all falls away. It's really the experience that seems to prepare you. I taught for the first time two week ago (a lesson on compound sentences), and everything I learned NOT to do from that session, I applied to this past Friday's. I might be armed with a lot of educational pedagogy and Language Arts tools, but in the end, all I can do is let experience be my true teacher.

I'm the kind of person who hates feeling helpless and unprepared, so...this is going to be difficult for me to work through.

That being said, what I'm working on:
*Finding a system for this blog that encourages me to use it as a tool AND an outlet
*My Educational Psych reflective paper. I've been procrastinating it and tried to work on it this morning but NOTHING.
