My first year of teaching was like a haze. I always felt like I wasn’t doing things well. I wish someone would have guided me better. If I could give a new teacher some advice it would be:

1. Routine
2. ALWAYS STAY PREPARED
3. Stay organized
4. Communicate to your principal and parents
5. PLEASE find your way to keep your class room management and environment safe and fun. But let them know you stand on business so be firm but fun.

What is some advice you found helpful?

6) if you’re having a hard time with a student, it’s not you-even if other teachers seem to be having an easier time it’s because of experience and tools
7) model the behaviors you wish to see hard since many of them are subconscious, but try to nip the habits to establish new good ones
8) ideally you are the parents are a team-you just see their child in different settings, with different expectations so you are not inferior to them or them to you
9) most of teaching isn’t teaching, it’s redirecting, reminding, modeling, managing :/
10) everyday is a new day! Start anew with a clean slate and they are pretty forgiving of you too :D

I so agree with #9. I feel like all I do all day is each one of these. Over and over!

Plan lessons and class projects together ❤️. Find and trust a colleague to have your back. Work together as a grand band to accommodate and accomplish student successes.

Having a colleague to stand with you and beside you is invaluable. On the other hand be that colleague other people can depend on for support

Be forgiving of yourself when you make mistakes. Learn from them and move on.

I struggle with this too
