Lakeisha,
I always thought AA was Alcoholics Anonymous! : ) I did not realize they had free public speaking forums. I believe that once you
have your own classroom, teaching a lesson will come naturally. Right now you are being watched by adults and that can be very
stressful. Your first year will be somewhat hectic because you are developing your lesson plans and teaching techniques; however, if
you organize and save all your lessons, these can be used each year and you will not have so much to do. Your goals are very relevant
and you have included good resources. Don’t forget webinars and good research on the internet to help you continue to grow
professionally.
