PD Paranoia

Tomorrow I will be giving my very first Professional Development class and I am so very nervous.  Believe it or not, I can act like a complete fool in front of my students, but speaking in front of adults, yeah, not my favorite thing......


Needless to say, when you are asked, there isn't room for a "no", which is fine, but did I mention how nervous I am.  So to my 8 followers, if you have any pointers, please endow me with your wisdom.  I fear tomorrow will be the scariest 60 minutes of my teaching career to date.


Faithfully,
Janine

  1. Hi Janine,
    I don't think I really have words of wisdom as I haven't had to run a PD before. But I do have a few words of encouragement! You were asked to do the PD for a reason, so keep reminding yourself that. Also (because I would feel exactly the same way as you do) please take comfort in the fact that anything we dread always turns out to be fine in the end...doesn't it? :) I would be so nervous too, but you will do great!! Let us know how it went and best of luck!
