My First Class Independently

I was assigned to be a sub-teacher who taught SEL and UOI. Two of the students (intern teachers) stayed in class to observe my teaching. It was a bit strange for me because they are interns and I am an intern, too. I am more than 10 years older than them. They came to have their internship just because of a graduation project. They signed the contract with the school and helped out here in classrooms.

The school thinks that I have teaching experience and I’ve developed my teaching skills in Kaohsiung, so I am able to teach independently. I think it was a great opportunity for me to have hands-on teaching experience teaching in real classrooms. I am glad that although my previous school did not provide observation chances and teaching demo, I feel lucky that I earned the practical experience here while I just transition here.

I am preparing for P5 Science class. I am a bit worried because the content itself is not age-appropriate and too hard for the P5 kids. In addition, I heard that it will be hard to have some challenging boys in class. I think this will be a good learning journey, but I really don’t wanna mess it up.
