As I sat with my current teammates, I realized I was starting to get anxious. For the past 4 years I have worked with the best team of teachers. Now our school is the victim of restructuring and all the teams are being mixed up. Besides one of my best friends being my special ed teacher next year, I will be working with a whole new team! It’s a scary thought.
Today was our first team meeting. As we introduced ourselves, I slowly started to feel at ease. These girls (and one guy) seem like they are fun, down-to-earth, and passionate about their subject areas. I have three of my favorite special ed teachers with me, we get to name our own “houses”, and I get to teach a 36 minute enrichment period each day. That means I can teach my monarchs more in depth! And maybe even hold a mock Newbery Award! This is shaping up to be a better year than I first though it would be…
Change is hard, but sometimes it can have unexpected positive results!

Change can be so hard, but it sounds as though you’re ready to roll with this one. Good luck with the new team!
