Reflection+11

Throughout this PLC we discussed stress and how it can affect the longevity of our teaching careers. The articles featured stress relieving tips that we were already aware of, but they served as good reminders. We were able to discuss each of these tips and relate them to our personal practices. We agreed that the school we choose to interview for must fit our personal philosophy on teaching; however, we do not understand how we will go about “interviewing” the schools to find out the atmosphere. We discussed ways to go about “interviewing” potential schools, but we felt it would difficult to get a full picture of the school’s culture without working there. We also discussed the predicament over whether to bring work home or finish it at school. This is an issue we will have to solve individually. We also discussed personal ways to handle stress such as running, roller derby, and dancing.
