Daily Reflections from a Teacher of the Deaf

Isn’t It a Bit Early for This?

Welcome to my new blog!! I know, I know…it’s only August, so why am I thinking about teaching already? Well, damned if I know. I’m going to try to ‘reflect on my teaching practice’ this year (what a load of crap that is, I mean, isn’t that fabulous?!?) and see if I can learn anything about myself and my work.

 This year, I’ll be teaching 5 Hard of Hearing (HH) students, who are in Grades 5 and 6. A small group, to be sure, but generally a needy bunch! I’m starting to think about how to schedule things this year, because though I’ve been teaching for 10 years, I’m never completely satisfied with how things run.

Maybe this year, I’ll be completely organized! Maybe this year, I’ll have files in order, and all assessments done in a timely fashion! Maybe this year, I’ll have my long range plans done by the deadline!! Ok…you’re new here and you don’t know me yet….ain’t gonna happen.

A girl can dream, can’t she?
