I'm four years in on my new career as a teacher. I've cried over evaluations. I've felt uncomfortable making mistakes and learning out in the open. I tried to earn good evaluations. This year, I'm feeling more confident after doing a sentiment analysis (thanks Charlotte ala ChatGPT). Like you, I've learned to slow down. It's early in the semester and I'll incorporate your other manageable techniques. Thank you!

Really good on your for taking that feedback and using it to transform your teaching- I find that so inspiring! It always strikes me how little support researchers get to make that transition into being teachers despite it being such a key part of the job.

Yes the expectations are high but the training is often lacking
