teaching Scout

I was in the position yesterday of a pupil –at my induction meeting for the council I’m going to work for next year. There were about 150 brand new teachers fresh out of Uni, sitting in the same room ready to get started in a whole new career. A whole new experience. Working with new people.
Honestly, I can’t wait.

But I realised as I was being ‘inducted’ that what I want to be is inspired by others. But more than this, I want to be inspiring to the pupils in my classes over the next year. I don’t think you can be inspiring without some sort of inbuilt enthusiasm for your subject/teaching. (Which hopefully most of us have, kinda because we chose to do this). But I hope with a bit of thought I can make my classes inspiring, creative places to be. Though who knows what will happen?
Honestly, I can’t wait.
