I have been surfing the website of NIE for information and related resources ever since I received the news that I have been offered a teaching position. I guess the excitement in me is just so enormous that I keep thinking about the days to come. Or perhaps this is just the initial stage of something new in my life.
The following questions popped up. Perhaps it would do me some good to pen it down?
- What are the possible topics for my project in NIE?
- What do I want to teach the little ones besides the topics included in the curriculum?
- I want to create awareness of how big the world is. How can I do that?
- Should I take up online courses while I am taking a break to increase my knowledge? What about the cost incurred?
- How should I spend my time in NIE? Just studying? Or should I join the clubs and activities? Will I have time?
- There are book prizes available for trainee teachers who do well academically. Will I be able to work my way up to the top few percent and be on the Dean's list or something? Am I that capable?
- I want to be involved in mentoring work, counselling and guidance perhaps. I want to give back to the little ones what my mentor has given me.
- I want to encourage the little ones and show them that the world is not as terrible as they may think. How can I do that?
- How can I encourage the little ones to be interested in other languages? TO be interested in other cultures?
The pondering has been so aggressive that I could not sleep last night. Even till now, I am still thinking about it when I am supposed to be working on my Dip in TESOL. :)
