Continuing forward, I notice more and more how I am changing and adapting to the way I teach. There are both good and bad changes; however, and the I fall back on the ways I've been taught before when I was still in middle and high school. Thinking back to those moments the teachers were always coarse in their approach to teaching; while it wasn't terrible, it didn't leave them with a good rating in the long run.
Most of what I've noticed I fall back to is giving basic feedback and only touching the surface of sparking conversation. It's almost as if my brain switches into self-preservation in order so that I try to not sit with one student more than another. I do end up doing that and it's mostly just them taking my attention away from the others and that is not a good thing to have happening. While some cases may be important to spend a little more time, it results in me getting frustrated having to hold their attention and not getting anywhere even if they asked for my help. It's more of a railroad getting on and off again at different stops but never really enjoying what's there as it always feels like going and going and going. It's about finding that place where I can finally pause to breath and enjoy where I'm at instead of needing to jump back on at the drop of a hat.
