Heading into my 5th observation at my prac school this week, I was met by my supervising teacher who enthusiastically asked me, “Do you want to teach my Year 11 Studies of Religion class next week?”.
I of course, jumped at the chance. I am after all, training to be a teacher, so why shouldn’t I take every opportunity to actually teach? As soon as I agreed however, I was immediately confronted by my inner monologue. From the minute the words left my mouth, I began asking myself the question that many pre-service teachers before me have asked.
“Am I ready to teach?”
