Testimony of Vera, Teacher of Additional General Subjects
When I teach, I feel like a fish in water; it gives me energy!
I am passionate about education. I taught at just about every level: from primary to secondary and adult education. I also did so in various roles: from policy to coach and, of course, as a teacher.
Today, I stand in front of the class in second-chance education. The very diverse audience consists largely of young people. I enjoy being able to walk alongside them for a part of their quest.
Energy
When I teach, I feel like a fish in water; it gives me energy! The idea that young people will soon leave the classroom knowing something they didn't know before gives me a kick. I teach both Macusa (a general subject about how people live together) and Dutch, and I find that a great combination!
Engaged colleagues
I have incredibly cool colleagues at Semper. What I rarely experienced before is the matter-of-course way in which material is shared here. As a work environment, I find it fascinating that the organization is constantly seeking answers and involves the teachers in the process.
