Conflicts or Disagreements

Lately I've noticed that I have conflict with administering the rules and regulations at my job to my workers. This is mainly because going from their co-worker to their boss is kind of a difficult transition. Alot of my co-workers I feel still dont take me seriously or listen when I say certain stuff. For me its hard I guess being serious when needed to people I use to joke around with. I have found talking with God, my boyfriend, and my boss about my struggles and hearing them out with their advice is making it much easier for me to do my job.
At home me and my boyfriend sometimes have alot of misunderstandings due to miscommunication on both ends. Either I dont say enough or he says to much and im left confused. I've found actually listening to what he says and not just listening to respond. When I do that it really helps our conversation move forward. I sometimes would rather keep things in and then when things happen let it all out and I've come to realize that is not the way to be when it comes to having a relationship of any kind. My assistant recently identified that she was suffering from depression and didn't really know it until it was too much to handle and came to me about how she was feeling instead of faking a smile everyday. She found talking about it with someone outside her household made it much better to cope with her struggles.

    Thanks for sharing, Angelique. I think that it is very hard to keep everything normal when you go the step up, and your colleagues must work under you now. I believe that something we can keep in mind is that we are still the same person, however, we have different roles. Those roles will certainly change our way. You want to be respected and be the person someone comes and talk to when they have a problem. But you also want to be the person that could joke around. We learn the skill to be able to be the "fun+bad" cop! If you can make your colleagues understand that, you will have their respect and support! Good luck <3

My Connections to Play

1."We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw 2.“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” -George Dorsey When I was younger play was a major part of my daily routine. I was barely in the house growing up, if anything I never wanted to back inside when the street lights came on. I learned so many rights and wrongs from climbing trees, riding my bike in the street, missing curfews, having play dates also taught me social skills as well. Parents always wanted the kids out the house, because sitting in front of a screen wasn't teaching them what they can learn from experience. Now a days it's a rare chance you see children who actually want to go outside and play, and that's all because of the time of techonokogy. Parents need to watch how much time they are letting their kids be on these tablets, cell phones, and computers.

My Supports

Within my daily environment I have a lot of people and things that support and aid me in getting my job done correctly. Some things I rely on and would have a hard time functioning without in my classroom is the app called precious status which is the form of communication between the school and the parents about their child. I never knew how much gloves came in handy either until we ran out one day and it was very hard trying to change children with the improper gloves or clean up for that matter. My director and assistant are also supportive people who help me throughout the day to make the day go smoother within the classroom and outside. My director makes sure I'm up to date with all my required trainings that way I can be the most effective teacher for my students. My assistant makes sure I'm not overwhelmed within the classroom and helps me with lesson plans, activities, and many other aspects of the classroom. I would be able to function without my assistant but it would...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

The podcast I chose to follow is called, "Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers". From this episode I learned some very good tips and practices I can put into effect in order to make sure I'm getting the proper rest and self-care I need. Teachers are no help to a student if they aren't in the right state of mind to teach, and that can be for many reasons such as lack of sleep, lack of eating, lack of exercise, lack of training, and many more reasons. Sometimes I get stressed out in class because I don't have all the materials needed to properly teach my students, yes they come first but if I'm not being supplied with the materials to teach them with then my state of mind is being jeopardized. Self-care goes a long way instead of just sitting around at home watching t.v. like I do I could watch an educational documentary and improve my skills as a teacher. This podcast is meant to, "speak life, encouragement, and truth into the minds and hearts of educato...
