Additionally, effective teachers must collaborate with other educators, parents, and consultants. To wear all of these hats well requires a combination of confidence enthusiasm, and most importantly, stamina. With your first teaching position however, comes a set of rewards intrinsic, extrinsic, and ancillary. Intrinsic rewards are those positive feelings and thoughts associated with teaching such as enjoyment, satisfaction, and stimulation. Extrinsic rewards are material benefits such as salary, benefits, and perceived social status.
Some rewards are outside the teacher's realm of control.
Ancillary rewards fall into that category and include workplace conditions, schedule, travel convenience, vacations, comfort, and safety. As you read these chapters, place yourself in the role of teacher. Think about the decisions that are required. Complete the learning activities after reading the required chapters. Email Dr. Munn if additional guidance is needed.
