Welcome to Student Teaching!

Being a reflective practitioner is a signature characteristic of effective teachers. This semester, you'll hone your reflective skills by writing about your teaching life each day via a blog post, right here on Red Hot Teaching '12.

Happy teaching! Happy writing!

relaxation

Diane takes relaxation very seriously and she is always reminding me to take a few minutes here and there throughout the day to sit down and breathe.  She likes to tell that 'if the teach isn't happy, ain't no body happy."

While this is usually somewhat in jest, I certainly think she has a good point encouraging me to take time to relax and not wear myself out.  In order to relax I like to come home and veg out a bit.  I often feel like after talking all day, I just want to sit and not talk to anyone.  I also try to go out with friends for dinner or happy hour at least one night a week and on the weekends.  I don't consider exersize relaxing or enjoyable, but I try to do this as well (doesn't always happen as much as it should).
