My dream job is one that allows the ultimate creativity. I started a forward movement towards my dream job when I recently started a supplemental education center to work with at risk students. Since both my husband and I are teachers, he a secondary school teacher and I an early childhood educator, we felt it was time we embarked on this journey. Though I love my current job as a classroom teacher, I don’t think it is my dream job. Besides teaching, I am also an up and coming filmmaker. So what is my dream job? When I think of my dream job, I see a place where I can combine teaching with technology and filmmaking. Hmm, is there such a place in public education? This takes me back to what I said about starting a supplemental education center. I believe in if you can’t find it, create it. At the center, I will be able to practice my creativity, to include all that I have learned at Full Sail University and beyond. Finding one’s dream job is a process and I feel I’m headed in the right direction of the process.
Susan,
I think it is pretty 'neat' that both you and your husband are teachers- you are preparing your kids for his classroom! It is as if you have your own vertical team going on in your home! I think you said it best when you stated, "I believe in if you can’t find it, create it." Great teachers do this very well as we are so committed to what we do that we will make it happen to the best of our abilities within the parameters of our environment. You do such an awesome job of that and it shows in every activity that I have seen you share. I am inspired. I do see the filmmaker in you come out in your teaching as well. Who knows, maybe you could start a program where you teach the fundamentals through the art of film making and production. Kids not only get the necessary fundamentals, but modifications are naturally included, kids are empowered and a cross curriculum activity/project has been developed. What a great school/classroom that would be. Just think of the caliber of students you would be sending to your husbands classroom! Amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next.
