“This year has been great! This year has been more than usual but nothing I can’t handle. I absolutely feel like I am putting in enough effort this year.  There has been a collective effort in our department to keep up with curriculum alignment as well as handling the daily issues involved with having in-person and remote students at the same time.  We have all learned a lot. I don’t feel let down by students’ behaviors, kids will be kids.  It is harder to form relationships with students that are remote but it can still be done. My job has been absolutely harder. I didn’t expect it to be as hard as it has been.  I’ve never done it before.  Having remote students and in-person students has been challenging.  Especially on lab days. I don’t let myself down because  I feel that I have a lot of support from my coworkers and my students. I have had to quarantine, It was awful. I felt even more disconnected from my students. I will be able to teach better after the pandemic. I’m more of a well-rounded educator now.”
