I mean, it's terrifying, you know? Stepping into the classroom at the beginning of the year, ready to meet new students, and sort of hoping that everything doesn't come crashing apart in the first 10 minutes, but then you meet the students and find out how great they really are, and find your groove, and launch in to the new school year...
I love this work so much.
It's the first day of the new semester, the new academic year. This is my 22nd year as a professional educator, and my 8th year teaching in higher edu. That's crazy to me! It went so fast.
Right before Intro to Ed this morning, I tweeted...
First day of my 22nd year of teaching. Let’s see if I remember how to do this...bring on the learning! 😃 pic.twitter.com/QmsJDfclbz— Dave Mulder (@d_mulder) August 27, 2019
I remembered how to do this. It was a good first day of class.
I love beginnings. I love the rhythm of the school year. I love that we get to start fresh every year. I love the newness of it all: new students, new schedules, new takes on the things I've done before.
Here's to beginning again!
