Chapter 14: Succeeding in Your Teaching Education Program-and Beyond

My first concern about becoming a teacher is, what it will be like to be in front of the class? Also concerns about how to best handle difficult situations with students who are struggling in school. Teaching will never be easy and I think it to best handle my concerns is to do the best I can to prepare for each and every class.

My biggest concerns fall under the area of Self. I feel that I'll be able to teach students well and have a positive impact on my students. But my concern is how to control a large group of students. I work really well teaching small groups and that is something I've been doing for a few years. Standing in front of many students and teaching a lesson is where I want to improve. I only do this well if I'm really prepared, otherwise I struggle to make myself clear.

This sense of confidence is where I really want to improve over the next few years. It will take practice and patience, but I think I can gain confidence and become more clear when I present in front of a class.
