New Teachers
What You Need To Know!
So, new teachers, you've just graduated. You’ve spent years working, weeks anticipating and hours studying. You’re thrilled. You’re ready to take on the world. You’re prepared.
But – maybe you’re not.
Sadly, there are many
questions
that first year educators have to learn on their own. There are many things that the colleges do not tell you to prepare for. That is the hardest part of a first year in education because you have to struggle through this on your own.
I have been educating for almost 10 years and every year I see people go through the same struggles, battles, tears and stress. In seeing this, I decided to create a guide to help YOU through this period.
I hope you find it helpful. It is meant to be a resource. Each school and district is different, so think of this as a guideline.
