Teaching. You’re learning, and not for the last time, that it’s a skill you’ll always hone. There is never going to be a time when you say I’m done, I’ve learned what I need to learn, nothing more to try. The best things are that way. Not that you’ll always love teaching; it’s a little too much like caretaking, to be honest. But here’s the thing: you’re good at it. You reflexively understand the most vital elements: taking the temperature of the group, realizing what needs to be addressed, dropping the parts that don’t matter. Sometimes you just tear up the lesson plan and go to it. Sometimes you take a moment to pause and reflect. They’ll stay with you. Trust that.
