Ten Things I Wish I’d Known Before Teaching the First Time
When I was thrust1 into the world of teaching for the first time, it was an exciting experience, but there were some things I caught onto far too late. That’s the nature of the beast, right? Nothing can adequately prepare you for the real thing! Still, I figured I’d write up some of those lessons, so that if someone were to stumble across this page, maybe it’s because they’re trying to prepare just like I was! Plus, it gives me a chance to write in my standared tone, a welcome change of pace from all the clarity-focused technical writing I’ve had to do this semester.
Okay, teaching was done of my own volition, so thrust is a misleading verb, but it catches attention, right? ↩
