The power of reflection, even just taking the time to write down take-aways on a notecard. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190076 2024-09-27 22:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190076 Teaching isn't easy but sticking with it can be rewarding. It is ok to ask for help. You don't always know what you're doing or what to do, and that's ok. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190397 2024-09-27 22:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190397 Collaboration is a key resource for support and new insights. Great teachers are often identified by how they make people feel, not by what they know. We have a community of teachers here we can rely on. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190912 2024-09-27 22:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143190912 Other new teachers are in the same boat with not feeling like we have enough time. (I'm sure veteran teachers are as well). Someone mentioned that reading aloud is very enjoyed by their students. I do wonder how that would go over for 9th graders who hate reading every day. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143191429 2024-09-27 22:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143191429 It's not always easy, but it's always worth it! All teachers want the open support but are less likely to reach out for it. Even seasoned teachers have struggles and challenges. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192118 2024-09-27 22:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192118 It is always okay to ask for help. Relationships are super important. Always believe that you can. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192298 2024-09-27 22:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192298 Teaching is a hard profession but we are not alone and it's so rewarding in the end. We all start at the same anxious place but with help and mentors we will succeed. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192494 2024-09-27 22:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143192494 I am walking with others that have the struggles that I had and have within my first 2 years of teaching.

I know its ok to mess up. "What made them great?"- I feel the lack of knowledge towards some content makes me feel like a bad teacher but the activity helped make me feel that there's more than that. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143198383 2024-09-27 22:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143198383 Takeaways: More information about the stresses of first-year teaching, how important connections to other teachers are, things that will be important as a teacher even if they seem small. heatheranderson3_1 https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143199380 2024-09-27 22:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/heatheranderson3_1/etgcxyv4jwdwazgw/wish/3143199380 Everyone in this room wants to better their students' lives.
