It's hard being the new kid again. I have been a science teacher for 13 years now, teaching for my previous district for the past 7 years. And now, I have taken a huge professional leap, left my cozy job, and have become the "new kid" again. My new district is much larger than anything that I am used to, which I hope will give me the opportunity to grow and advance. My goal is to be a science curriculum specialist or coordinator, positions that were not available in my previous little district.
This past week I have attended new staff orientation, where I have been surrounded by new teachers, young teachers, intern teachers, fresh-faces, unwrinkled, perky, motivated, ready-to-change-the-world teachers. It was awesome. It was energizing. It was exactly what I needed. Don't get me wrong, I love being a teacher, and I am excited and enthusiastic every year for the awesome learning that happens in my classroom. But, I must admit, this new district is so large that it can be a bit intimidating. Spending several days with others in the same situation as myself removes the "I'm new here" label that I had assigned myself, replaces it with "I'm excited to be here" instead.
And I am excited to be here. So as I learn a new school, new policies, procedures, and finally find where the paper and glue sticks are, I find myself reflecting on how exciting it is to be here. A new school. A new district. A new path in my professional career. This is exciting.
