It is the eve before my second scheduled micro-teaching session as
part of my new course and I find myself pondering on how I'm going to be
feeling 24 hours from now. If my present condition is anything to go by, I
think I'm in for an unsettling time, yet for the 100th time I ask myself why am
feeling this way? Is it my chosen topic? No, I'm pretty happy with that and
feel that my knowledge and understanding are at a sufficient level. Is it the
learner group? Again no. This is once again being delivered to my fellow PCET
partners in crime, to whom I'm sure will be gentle with me (although I may be
wrong).

Today I witnessed three exemplary micro-teach sessions from three
members of the group, delivered with such enthusiasm and confidence, and I
don't think I'm wrong in saying it, with a certain amount of enjoyment and
pleasure, which was clearly evident in their demeanor. I can only hope to draw
upon their enthusiasm and hopefully use it to inspire my own motivation and
deliver something as interesting and enjoyable, rather than the painful
expectations I have at the moment.
I do take solace in recognising the purpose behind these
micro-teach sessions, is for us to learn through experience, experiment with
alternative teaching strategies and learning techniques and as such to make
mistakes in an safe environment. So just like going to get vaccinated, I need
to focus, take a deep breath and after a brief moment of pain, I can relax and
enjoy the rest of the show with a lollipop.
