It’s time to admit that I haven’t truly been a blogger in any sense of the word. So here’s my promise to you, dear readers (if there’s any of you still out there): I’m going to make an attempt to blog at least 3 times a week starting tomorrow.
A little refresher on who I am and where my perspective is coming from: I’m a 2008 PGMT graduate of the University of Virginia’s Curry Ed. School. I’m entering into my 4th year of teaching, 3rd at my current school. My first year of teaching was at a now-defunct school in DC. While there, I taught special education to ninth grade boys. I am currently teaching at a special education private school in the DC suburbs. I’m taking on a lead-teacher position this year in a K-1 classroom and will be working with a fantastic assistant. I’m blessed to have a small student-teacher ratio, a supportive and creative administration, and involved parents. In many ways, though, I’m longing to get back into urban education. I anticipate this year to be one of deep reflection to see if I’ve built up enough solid skills to confidently jump back into teaching within the District and serving all of her children.
