Is teaching what I thought it would be?

1.    For inspiration, read Ms. Oertli’s blog post titled “On Repetition and Unglamorous Teaching” and respond to one (or all) the following questions:

a.    Is teaching what you thought it would be? Give examples.

b.    Is there a day or time that started out one way but ended up with a pleasant surprise?

c.     Is there a time when you talked about a sensitive topic?

d.    Is there a time when you saw a student make a connection that indicated a success for you?

In your responses, tell the story and make a connection to what you have learned from this reflection or how you will use it in your professional career.
