Meet Your Photographer Series | The Student

6/6/2014

 

So far you have met Sarah: The Mother and Sarah: The Teacher. Well, in amongst all the madness, I am also a student at Old Dominion University. I am working toward a Masters in Education and I am a little over halfway done with my degree - on track to graduate in Fall 2015!!! That date cannot come soon enough! Obviously I enjoy keeping myself busy, but I took last semester off and it was nice to be able to breathe a little! 
Even though I "only" graduated 5 years ago from Longwood University, I feel like I should have a deeper knowledge when it comes to the science of teaching ... if that makes sense. Longwood prepared me very well for my career but the teaching world constantly changing with new ideas and philosophies coming out, and I can't keep up! Let's be honest though... I don't necessarily care to learn about the different philosophers and memorize what they did. I'd rather learn the APPLICATION of it all and the HOW and the WHY. I want to see it all in action (or at least read about it being applied). I enjoy learning new techniques and getting ideas during research projects that I can actually apply to what I'm doing now in my career. I love stepping back and analyzing a situation that is going on and instantly coming up with strategies based on research I'm familiar with and projects that I have done. And guess what??? It makes my job so much easier knowing this stuff ;)
The only downfall is with having so many amazing ideas floating in my brain from all of this, I have to pick and choose what to do and what to put off to the side for a while. If you know me, you can attest to that being a very difficult task for me... I'm more like that person that has 37 tabs open up at once and is trying to do them all at the same time. Pulling my hair out and getting stressed that things aren't getting done. True story (ask my husband haha it drives him crazy!). But I am learning to do things one at a time to be the best teacher I can be for my little ones.
I'm not going to sugar coat it because it is *really* hard to juggle everything that I do and I am so thankful to everyone who helps me stay sane, especially my wonderful hubby!
xoxo,
Sarah
