teaching

man, i feel like a suckie teacher. i was really tired today, to the point where my voice was a little hoarse. well i did a lil bit of shouting too - the second class was hella rowdy. i felt like i really held their attention during the game, at which point they were still crazy but at least it was about the game. anyway, i feel like i need to learn about the meds better. i feel like my teaching skills are sorta sporadic - sometimes im a good teacher and sometimes i suck balls. part of the reason i felt off today was cuz i started the class while my co-teacher was on the phone bc we had to get started but it also kinda threw me off. anyway, BLAH. i need to know my material better if i'm going to teach it...

anywho, hopefully as a whole i'll get to be a better teacher after this quarter...and after this summer! wooo. wow, i guess i'm getting lots of teaching experience.
-artspan: teaching kids arts and crafts
-lectures in vietnam medical project
-science in service: science lessons with kids
-ravenswood: tutoring a 1st grader in reading
-ACCESS: high school and college kids; various college level lectures
-TECC: teaching teachers english/how to teach english

and now these asthma classes and in the summer the PNG lectures

despite all this experience, i dont know if i'm actually geetting better at teaching. i think i'm staying the same. i guess it depends on what i'm teaching and the crowd i'm working with.

ahh..i'm tired.

time to do some studying for my MIDTERM. AHH.
