Hi I’m Benjamin, I want to start by telling my story, I applied to work as a music teacher, tried to apply online and got a call, so I went for my interview, prepared my lesson plan and did my teaching demo in front of the school heads, and after all they say they will email me in me two days, but i didn’t get an email, so didn’t expect for it anymore, but on the third day call me to start. I was very happy that I was hired, teach grades 1 to 6, so I started my career in education as music teacher in a small school in Dubai.
It was pretty enjoyable but in the other side I know I need to adjust in some areas a classroom teacher must have. I did my best to learn and grow more, but i feel it was still short of the requirement, so there’s the point when the colleges share me their strategies and as well as behavior management, I really appreciate what they do and I kept the attitude to learn from them.
My point it that don’t be afraid to start, it doesn’t matter if you start big or small. Start in the area where you are most interested in, and take the risk. In my opinion school is the best place to work with, were most of people even educators are open to learning, because when you are in place where you should be there you will have motivation, growth and learn.
