I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. Put me in a room full of adults and I clam up. Sit me in front of a crowd of 10-year-olds, though, and I am right at home. For the past seven years, I have been transforming and refining my teaching practices, and I’m excited to document and share my journey with you on this podcast. Because really, there are going to be days when you are on fire for teaching, and there are going to be days when you hate teaching. That is the nature of any job. So, I'm hoping that when I go back and listen to some of my recordings, I am reminded of how much I love teaching. I am reminded of the students’ lives who have been transformed through their education. I am reminded that I played a part in that process. It would be sad if some of those memories become foggy at best or forgotten at worst.
I'm also hoping this platform connects educators in Nigeria. Through research, social media, and guest posting we will learn about the resources that have helped others in the classroom. If enough people start engaging this conversation, the outcome will surely be positive change.
