Teaching

Remember your strengths and use them... I have been a teacher for over 10 years (in special education but I think the same applies) below are the things that have helped me and my students alike:

A dislike of chaos resulting in an a drive to create calm in the classroom.

An understanding of each individual as a unique entity with their own neurotypes, experience and interests so I can change my approach and differentiate to meet individual needs.

Affective empathy (I struggle with cognitive) which enables me to identify who needs what support and encouragement to engage or calm ready for learning. 

An ability to create and follow processes that result in solutions. 

I tend to think rather than feel which enables me to cope well in challenging situations working out how to resolve the problem rather than getting caught up in the excitement/stress of the situation

I can't emphasis this enough work out your strengths and use them and focus on them. 

There are challenges for sure and some things that I do to help are: 

Arrive early so that the exposure to lots of people is graded.

Stay out of the work place politics as much as possible. 

Create realistic to do lists. 

Hope this helps.... Keep in touch on this forum and let us know how it is going.
