I am just starting a job at a Reno community college where I will be teaching in the ABE/GED program. When I had first heard about this opportunity I was hesitant to jump in... I later realized that my hesitation was just nervousness about my first job as a teacher.
Teaching at the community college level is not the type of job I was looking for but upon review and I saw this as a once in a lifetime experience with the opportunity to get into a classroom and try out the strategies I have been studying.
After going through the interview process, a literacy training day, and meeting some of my new coworkers I was so excited to jump into my new position. I found out I will be teaching reading, writing, and possibly a math class to students that are at the 3rd-5th grade level. This will be temporary for me, one session, that will lead me right into my student teaching, what a great opening... start testing, using and working strategies with young adults and then move into a student teaching position at the elementary level.
I know that this will be a great opportunity and experience for me. Stay tuned for what I have learned in trainings. I am so excited that I decided to jump in!
