When I think about becoming a teacher, I am concerned that I will be a boring teacher, or that I will be bored doing it. I am concerned that my students will not be interested enough or engaged enough to understand anything, and that I will not be able to explain things well because I do not understand them well enough myself. I am also concerned that I will not know how to test them, or grade them fairly. I also worry that I will be nervous in front of the class, or that no school will hire me. Some of these things concern me more than others, and I am sure I will learn it eventually, but overall, I am concerned that I will be a generally crappy teacher.
1. The Area of Concern that was most present for me was the Self.
I think this is because I am worried about my ability to be a successful teacher, my doubt that I will have enough content knowledge, knowing how to teach a particular lesson, as well as being nervous.
2. The Stage of Concern in the Self was stage 2: Personal.
I think I am at this Personal stage because I am uncertain about the above things, and I wonder if I am inadequate to meet the demands of being a teacher.
