How to teach reading

Tomorrow morning the fourth grade teachers at my school are going to come observe me teaching Houghton Mifflin. Which is funny--because it's my first year teaching Hougton Mifflin and my first year at this school and because I'm trying to teach less from the curriculum while they want to learn how to teach more...

Teaching from the book is something I know how to do. I just have to look over exactly what I want to do tomorrow (had planned to do something NOT from the book). I'm just torn about where all of this is going.

I wish I weren't having so much self-doubt and could just focus on teaching my kids and what THEY are learning instead of how I am doing. I'm having this terrible problem of trying to see myself through everyone else's eyes. I think that's what's called insecurity.
