The Challenge of the First Year Teaching
Teaching can be defined by as many adjectives as each one of the experiences can provide, teachers may disagree on what other people may say about it, however, we can agree on the fact that is the most unexpected job in the world. Facing a group of students is always a different experience. Teachers who have just graduated tend to feel scared, threatened and anxious about their first day of work is going to be like. In all aspects, first impressions and first experiences can be crucial for the objectives we want to achieve; for teachers, these can even be more important because their main goals are related not only to giving contents to students for them to learn those, but also to educate them for life; offering the tools so they can find their own opportunities to grow.
