Anxiety
It’s Wednesday morning and I’m feeling a little anxious because I don’t want a repeat of last week. Every Wednesday and Thursday my classmates and I are responsible for teaching from a lesson plan that we’ve created and last Friday’s class seemed to be going in too many directions.
Robin, my partner, and I have taught four lessons in the Midwest Teacher Training Program (MTTP) and have some awesome students from Korea, Brazil, West Africa, Japan, Taiwan, and more. Although they’re from different areas of the world, they have no problem collaborating. Some are studying to improve their TOEFL scores, seeking to get into a university, or need English for their jobs, so they’re eager to learn. They give me their best, so I want to give them my best. Hence the anxiety.

Hi Kineta
Are you hoping to go abroad and teach at the end of your course, or stay in the US? What sort of careers guidance does the program offer?

Hi Kineta,
It sounds like a very interesting experience you are having. Can you tell more about the program? You mean you are teaching already?
