Similarly, do VDSI employees have any discounts or reimbursement for purchasing devices through Verizon? If so, kindly let me know how to check it out. Thanks in advance.

Not as much as I used to, but there really were a lot of times where I’d look around and think, what am I doing? Do I have any idea what I’m doing at all? Thankfully it has faded over the years, and for the most part I have to tell myself I do know what I’m doing (for the part) and believe in myself.

I do feel like time has helped me as well. I feel more confident than even five years ago.
Usually flying by the seat of my pants! I have no idea if I’m doing anything right at all but my students are making progress 🤷♀️ I’ve been in it for 10 years come June!

If your students are progressing, then you are definitely doing so many things right!
24 years in, and I still struggle with confidence. Sometimes I feel great about what I do and at other times I feel like I am not doing anything well at all. Being honest and reflective about my teaching helps me keep things in perspective. We all have strengths and areas to improve. I try hard to not get discouraged by my mistakes and learn from them.

That is a wonderful perspective. I think I need to make sure I am looking at myself in the figurative teaching mirror more often.
I am confident in my sped knowledge and skills, yet I am continually being discounted during meetings when administrators override what I've said. The lack of respect is disheartening.
A year and a half is all the experience I have. There are so many things for me to learn still. So I’m definitely not as confident as I’d like to be. But we are getting there. One day at a time.
It's normal; mine depends on the day.
