I.T. to Teacher

Yesterday, the day after my interview, I started the next module in my ITT training. Of course it talked about what to expect in the interview. It even had a list of questions to ask during the interview. That would have been good to know, oh, before the interview. Oh well.

The module also described how my attitude toward teaching will vary my first year.

Aug. = Anticipation
Sept. - Oct. = Survival
Nov. - Jan. = Disillusionment
Feb. - Mar. = Rejeuvenation
Apr. - Jun. = Reflection
Jul. = Anticipation

So, teachers out there, is this accurate? The First Year Teacher blogger says that around the holidays she feels like she can't go on being a teacher. Sounds like the disillusionment phase is correct. I would have thought that the Apr. - June time would have a feeling of relief rather than reflection. What do you teacher think?

I had to laugh, under their Keys to Success it says that I will have no life. "You need to prepare and you need sleep. That is all you have time for!" Sounds like fun.
