Mrs. Goerend's Live the Conversation
Mrs. Goerend made the decisions a lot of teachers face. Do I stay where I am at or try teaching a new grade and/ or subject? Mrs. Goerend decided to give the "new" a chance. She went from teaching in an elementary classroom to being an elective teacher. Over the course of the year Mrs. Goerend realized she was still able to make the positive connections with students, something she missed from the elementary classroom. It doesn't matter what you teach as long as you have the heart and passion for what you do. A teacher, who loves their work, will always have a dramatic influence over their students' lives.
In the second blog post I commented on, Mrs. Goerend gave insight into the lives of future educators. Mrs. Goerend is unable to go anywhere in town without running into a student, a parent, or another educator. This is something future educators need to be made aware. Once we start teaching, we will always need to be the person we want our students to see. We will always need to act in a way that is respectful and professional. When I clock out of work at school does not mean Mrs. Gates stays behind with all my books and red pens. Mrs. Gates will need to be the one at the grocery store or the restaurant.
