Be firm but flexible. Empower your students; don't just lecture to them.  Listen to what your students are saying as well as what they are not saying. Encourage students to believe in themselves and find their own voice. "If You Can Dream It You Can Do It." Walt Disney

Try and make what you teach  them relevant to their own lives. They are more likely to remember it that way.  Give them examples. It is a great feeling when a student reminds you of something you taught them 10-15 years later!!

Some of the most difficult students turn out to be your favorites if you give them a chance to interact with you without constant criticism. Teachers have bad days, students have bad days, recognize those days and work through them and don't make a big issue over it. Remember some teacher down the hall is having the same problems as you, talk to your friends and lean on them when needed. George McCormick-306

Do not try to do it all in one day... you'll exhaust yourself. Instead, take one day at a time. Even if you're only one day ahead of the kids, it's okay!

This year I'm going to keep a journal and each day right after school I will  write down what worked and what did not work from my lesson plans so that I can look back and learn from it.

Also I rather over prepare my lesson plan than under prepare it.

About classroom management: Pick a battle small enough to win but big enough to matter to you.

It's very important that you get to know all the secretaries of our school and treat them kindly...

And one last thing: If you want to go for a run to release some stress just e-mail me.

You are entitled to family, friends and a personal life. Be a helpful and willing team-player but set boundaries for yourself. It's ok to say 'no' sometimes.

In regards to classroom control: Don't say it if your not willing to follow through. The others in the class will respect you "saying what you mean and meaning what you say".

Find someone  who teaches the same thing as you and share lots of resources.  I've never met a teacher that wasn't more than willing to share.  You don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Listen to the veteran teachers advice, but go ahead and try your idea even though they told you it won't work/it'll take too long to grade/or some other negative comment. Mostly they'll be right but sometimes they won't. In the end you have to learn for yourself. Most days aren't magic, but the ones that are make it worth it.
