Change. It's the one thing in education that we can be guaranteed. Most educators would say that change is necessary and inevitable and not all bad. Yet, when it happens to you it stinks. My entire job description has now changed for next year. Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful to have a job next year. That doesn't mean I'm excited for this change. Two years ago I was cut from my previous district due to lack of students in my area. I had to give up my classroom, my students, my team, my families, all of it. I may be staying in the district, but I am giving all of those things up again. For the same reason. Not due to anything within my control. This is frustrating. I have also had a hand in some changes that will happen in our program next year. And I won't be here to see it or utilize them. This stinks too. I am going from a classroom to a cubicle next year. I am going from working with 3-5 year olds in the classroom, to working with families in their homes. This is a lot to deal with emotionally.
I'm grateful that I have a job; I'm struggling with the change.
