When I started out as a teacher, I was thrown into a classroom, given a teachers version of the text, and left alone. That first year was tough. I learned so much through trial and error. I could have used some of the advice I found recently searching the blogging world. I thought I’d share a few great posts that I read. Hopefully the advice of these great blogging teachers will help make your early years a little easier than mine.
Take a look:
1. The Five Biggest Mistakes I Made as a New Teacher. – You’re going to make mistakes as a first year teacher, but this post gives you a heads up on some common mistakes that maybe you can avoid and make it a more successful year.
