Your first day anywhere can be tough. As a supply teacher, I had one such experience when I was 1to work at a special education school.
When I received the call asking if I was available that day, a wave of 2rushed over me. I'd never taught in a special school before, but I 3pulled myself together and drove to the school. On the way there, I had 4about everything I couldn't do.
As I 5, I was greeted by the head who 6me there was "nothing to worry about", but I was feeling anything but! I was told I would teach key stage7by their parents, the children began to show up. I tried to 8my anxious feelings, although a few drops of 9 were noticeable.
The whole class, a total of 8 with various special needs, arrived by 9: 30. Contrary to my 10, as the day went on, my 11levels went down. The children were expressive, unique and passionate, though there were times that left me slightly 12by their screams.
As the day ended, I can 13 say it was one of the best experiences of my teaching career. I hope anyone will 14working at a special school and allow the passion of the children there to 15their love of teaching.
