ABSTRACT
THERE’S SO MUCH to learn, so much to knowand to do as we make our wobbly ways into teach-ing, that it can seem entirely overwhelming: “this can’t be done,” we hear ourselves saying over and over. That’s an entirely common and natural feeling, and you’re not alone. If you stick with it, break it down, and take it step by step, there can be an end to the tunnel where joy and light and even a little ecstasy live side by side with awe. Of course, the end of any particular tunnel is the beginning of other horizons and newer challenges; welcome to the dynamic world of the classroom.
