I am a recent graduate of Bowling Green State University (May 2009) with a degree in Secondary Education, Integrated Social Studies. I was unsuccessful in finding full-time employment in Southeast Michigan over the summer, so I am currently substitute teaching. In fact, I spend most of my time teaching at the same high school I went to– and two of my younger brothers still attend.
I am doing my best to put myself into a variety of teaching situations and experiences to best prepare myself for a classroom of my own in the near future. This blog serves as a repository for my thoughts and reflections on teaching, pedagogy, social studies, and anything else related to my life as a professional.
This is a very good idea. Only scratch out “twenty years” and replace it with “six months.”
A community of new teachers that may interest you is Sup Teach?
Good luck.
Thanks for the recommendation. Ten minutes of browsing have already told me this is something very close to what I’ve been looking for.
