When you start teaching, there seems to be so much going in both inside and outside the classroom. Even the simple things can seem difficult. Like giving instructions. Seems straight-forward, right? Not always. There’s no other way to get good at teaching than to try, fail, and try again. Having a little help along the way can make a big difference, too.
We've got books.
We know how difficult it can be to have someone hand you a set of keys and say “Here’s your classroom. Good luck.” That’s why we want to share resources from our friends that we know will help you. Check it out!
Mental Health.
You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone.
Maintaining your mental health in the midst of a school year can be challenging. It’s not just the kids, the grading, and the extra hours. There are stressors all around you and they can be magnified by the accumulated fatigue that comes with the job.
Take care of yourself. You deserve it.
