1) My biggest struggle has been trying to make science as engaging as possible through virtual learning.
2) Take enough time to self-care!
Also students appreciate when you sprinkle random facts that relate to the lesson. Don't be shy to really be yourself in the classroom!

1. Classroom management was my difficulty back in my first year. I wasn't good at anticipating or preventing issues yet. 2. I'd tell myself to think about how to create clear transitions to avoid "dead air" time.

1. I am a credential student at CSULB, and anticipate one of my greatest challenges will be time management and not burning out spending hours and hours lesson planning.
2. I am becoming a teacher to inspire students and make science more approachable for everyone.

Currently in the UDCP program student teaching! One reason I am becoming a teacher is because I love being able to help struggling students.

Classroom management. I am a veteran teacher. Currently, student engagement during COVID.
I really like what Megan Leiva says. We love to teach the curriculum but it's all about student engagement.

I am not a teacher yet, I want to teach in special education.
I think my biggest struggle to start is going to be wanting to do too much right away. I'm so excited to be working towards becoming a teacher that I think I'm going to try too hard.

1. Biggest struggle as first year teacher was too much focusing on lessons and prep and not the actual interactions in the classroom.
2. I would tell my first year teacher self that it all works out in the end, and it doesn't have to be perfect every day.

My biggest struggle as a first year teacher is trying to adjust to this pandemic. This is my first year of teaching and I started student teaching spring 2020.....

1. I am a credential student at CSUF but before the program I was a PE teacher during this crazy time. The biggest struggle under that position was having students participate in some form of physical activity from home. I think the biggest challenge in my first year of science teaching will ensuring that students are engaged and understanding the scientific material at play
2. I am becoming a teacher to help shape our future generations and ensure they are scientifically literate. And I also love working with kids and hanging out with them, at least so far.

1. My biggest struggle as a first year teacher, was unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic! Distance learning was quite the way to enter into the world of teaching. Creating a virtual environment, creating assessments, and feeling a sense of community with my school was very difficult.
2. If I were to tell myself one thing (even though I am still a first year teacher) it would be TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!

My biggest struggle has been getting students to write down their assignments in their notebooks virtually, everything else is fine

1. My biggest struggle as a first year teacher was classroom management. My class was consistently a 3 ring circus between my students doing labs, collaborating in groups, and differentiating instruction.
2. If I could tell my first year teacher self one thing it would be this: WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER!
