My observation was rescheduled…how anti-climactic, uh. Oh well, I got to use another HST quote and I get a few more days to burn an ulcer through the already perforated lining of my stomach.
Funny, I have not been nervous about an observation since the first one I went through at my first teaching gig. For whatever reason (tremendous respect for the principal, school, colleagues and the blinding fear of letting them down after they took a n essentially blind chance on me…) I am nervous about this one; go figure.

Oh, you know you'll do great-- or they wouldn'ta hired you.
I have NEVER had an observation when scheduled in the school I am in, BTW. My philosophy is, "Come in any time you want!" Which, in reality, translates to: "He never comes in at all because he's not worried..."
Thanks for the words MS. C. I suppose self doubt is a part of any self reflective and growing teacher's nature.
My door is open too and they know it. There's just something icky about the "formal" observation. I suppose it comes from the same part of my brain that is resposible for the crushing test anxiety.
Post observation hasn't happened yet but I think it went pretty ok.
