Hi Zoe!

Great post I could relate to a lot of what you said. I did the Bed program, so I can understand your take on the constant reflection that occurs on practicum and teaching days and wishing days went better, and that you tried some things differently. This can be challenging and growing up in an education system that was much different than how we are now being taught to teach and instruct is an added level of difficulty. It is so hard to navigate and decipher how to do things best as a teacher; however, one thing I feel like I have learned about teaching and that you have demonstrated in your post is that every day is a new opportunity to learn and grow as a teacher and to improve for your students. I love this part of the job, as teachers, we are never done learning and the way you have looked at your practicum as a learning experience to build off of is fantastic I hope I can be just as positive when I have those challenging days. Great post Zoe! I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming practicum!

All the best,

Morgan
