Tomorrow morning, first thing, I'm having my first administrative observation. I haven't taught high school for ten years, but I remember quite vividly how I felt while I was being observed and critiqued. I've got the next hour and a half to get my game plan finalized. Back during my first stint as a public school teacher, I really trotted out the dogs and ponies for the show, but I've mellowed in the intervening years and I'm not sure what my style is anymore. I'm certainly not the same person I was then.
The other major difference is the school district. I am in a completely different world here!
One thing I've had to deal with most is the emotional factor of very recently becoming estranged from several of my closest friends. I'm still reeling from that, and sometime soon I may talk about it. Or I may not. Ever.
