I have had really great mentor support through this year.  All new teachers in our district are given a mentor to meet/talk with, have observe and critique our teaching and help us along, and it has been great having someone designated who we can rely on.

A couple of my biggest challenges this past year have been how to keep my learners behavior under "control", I find myself not set in my own classroom rules and the students have been a bit off task, and the second challenge is maintaining contact with my parents in a way that shows them I value their opinions, however, it is still my classroom.

This year I think that I have gotten to know a lot of the other teachers and have worked on developed working relationships with them which is important as a special educator because I need them to come to IEP meetings and consult with them about cases. I have also learned so much about the paperwork that we have to do and how to case manage.

Amanda Carver .                   This year I had a really great Kindergarten team to work with and mentor as a first year teacher. It was really helpful to have this group to answer all of my questions along the way.

I'm flexible!

I really want to work on staying more organized throughout each week. I find in some areas that I am very prepared for my lesson, and then at other times, I need to almost make it up as I go along. I need to focus time on keeping my lessons clear and the materials in reach.

Adjusting to a new school and new grade level!

1. teaching hormonal high school boys. Do I need to say anything else on that subject?
2. It seems like every time I find out about something that I was supposed to be doing and get a handle on it, I find out something else that I was supposed to be doing. (For instance: RANDA and performance goals. Didn't know about those until my director wanted to come in and do an observation and she started mentioning RANDA. Now it's SLO...) and then not knowing who I can go to about these things within the school.

How do you/or do you, keep track of minor behavior offenses throughout the day, for when either students or parents question what is happening in the classroom.

I would like to work on organization of my classroom to help next year go smoother! As a first year teacher it was hard to walk in with not a lot of materials!

# data[].attributes.body
I am flexible as well, I am hoping to teach summer school and I have a second job at EMMC, so times can get limited but with enough notice, I can pretty much adjust my schedules to work.

I would like to work on organization as well. On top of if being my first year in public school, I also started in the middle of the year (well, November) and it seems like I was never able to get things organized the way I would have liked.
