A blog about the journey transitioning from a student to becoming a math teacher.

The New Semester
I am so excited to be back to school after the long holiday break. I get to be a teaching candidate at my own high school and work with teachers that I had. It's a little weird since not a lot has changed at my school since I graduated, but I love the math department. The teachers are extremely helpful in giving me advice right away, and their ideas about teaching are right in line with my own. They are starting to bring in a lot more project based learning which has changed since I was a student. It looks like I have a lot to learn, and I can't wait to start to teach full time in a few weeks.

I am excited about your placement. How fun to work with former teachers. I know they will be proud of your career choice. Make sure you establish yourself as a teacher, not just a former student. You are a peer now. You need to receive respect for your new role.
