I'm always experimenting, leaving notes in my file for next time. I think this helps prevent bum out. That's one advantage of being an experienced teacher. I can put investment into preparation and I can fine tune. I can try new ideas.
Age has nothing to do with being a good teacher.
Joyce also encourages the role of young women in her classes. I try to be very sensitive and support them. I love that part of my job and school life. It's harder knowing I can no longer have time with my grandfather who died last year. Time with family is important, even though most teenagers like me take it for granted.
