PLN #2 - "So You Want to Teach?"

I recently added this to my PLN and found the various articles to be quite interesting and eye-opening. Comprised as a "scrapbook-like survival guide" for new teachers, I think it's valuable to gain insight into challenges that beginning educators face that I will or may have never been told about or prepared for as an undergrad, "expecting the unexpected". After all, one can only learn so much from listening to lectures and various"what-if"scenarios, as opposed to the 'real deal'. Utilizing stories of others' experiences, hardships, conflicts, and advice is closest to the actual experience of teaching and most beneficial.
