- the sincere nods when students “get it”
- wrinkled faces, a pause, followed by the “OH, I get it!!”
- the light bulb moments (see above)
- having an office (not sure why I like this but I do)
- having fun, laughing while in class (fun and class do not need to be mutually exclusive)
- coming up with new ideas and then finding out they work
- summer (so nice to have a starting and and ending to each year)
- when past students come back to say hi and they’ve found career/life happiness
- the way my schedule meshes with my kids, so I can be part of their school lives too
- seeing students as excited about learning as I am
- making connections with students
- grading papers (OK, that’s an outright lie)
Nice, thanks for being my first “blogger”. Enjoy your page on things to love about teaching.
