I'm in my second year of classroom teaching. Before that I did substituite teaching for one year. I teach grade 4/5. Last year it was grade 6.
I'm struggling to feel successful with my practice.
I know I am doing well, my students are learning and I provide them with a rich program but I always feel like I can do more.
Does anyone know how I can combat this? It seems to come from being OCD and being a perfectionist.
I was sitting last night thinking how great my language program is but I keep feeling like I need to do more, more, more! No matter how much I add, tweak and make better, I still feel like I could change things for the better (even if it's not possible! haahaha).
Just wondering how people deal with never feeling like you're good enough (without needing meds). In all honestly, I'm not OCD, other areas of my life I know how to let go and release control and accept that things are fine.
For the record, this is all me, noone else. My colleagues and principal have never said anything but positive things about my performance.
