It was to the point where, now we've offered our services, now we're definitely going to provide them. In addition to mentoring teachers, you also teach a class yourself. It's extremely important and I really wouldn't want to do this job without it because every population of students in every school is very different. And it's really critical that we understand the trials and tribulations that the teachers here at our school go through on a daily basis. Students behave differently before lunch and after lunch.
Attendance is different in the morning than it is in the afternoon.
And we need to know everything that it is that the teachers are going through so that we can help them provide the best practices for students. Currently, I'm team teaching two classes. The teachers that I'm team teaching with get to see the teacher leader's process and thinking the whole way through the stages of planning, delivery, and reflecting on the lesson after it's finished. Well, it's one of the most rewarding experiences that a teacher can have. It's the payoff point.
