In this episode, I sit down with my friend Shannon, a first-year high school history teacher, to dive into her journey into education. We start by chatting about her inspiration to become a teacher, which goes back to when she was in sixth grade, and how that early spark guided her toward history in college. Shannon shares the challenges and surprises she faced while navigating her way through a teaching credential program at Biola University, and how it was a mix of hard work, fun moments, and faith-building experiences. She talks about the rewarding aspects of teaching, especially working with freshmen and sophomores, and how every day brings something different. From classroom dynamics to personal connections with students, Shannon gives an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being a first-year teacher. She also opens up about the role her faith plays in shaping her classroom environment and how she balances that with the pressures of being a new educator. Whether you’re a fellow teacher or just curious about the world of education, this conversation gives great insight into the highs and lows of teaching!Stay Curious!Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/curiouslyconfusedpodcast/⁠⁠Listen on Apple or Spotify!Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/curiously-confused/id17918511599⁠⁠Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0gHshXoh58BjUBjrOzkhHB?si=39202e61cc2748bff⁠⁠TRANSCRIPT TO READ EPISODE HERE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h88FKZ9x-ybQLH8EqReeDpjUj94IkLJWBfrPXziRPbA/edit?usp=sharing
