If you are not a teacher yet, what do you think is going to be one of your greatest challenges? Why? 2. If you could tell your first year teacher self one thing what would it be? If you are not a teacher yet, what is one reason you are becoming a teacher. en-us 2021-03-21 16:30:02 UTC 2021-03-22 23:38:42 UTC hello@padlet.com lcalifano1 https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340359527 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! ]]> 2021-03-22 22:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340359527 https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340494529 My biggest struggle has been getting students to write down their assignments in their notebooks virtually, everything else is fine

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! ]]> 2021-03-22 23:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340494586 https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340495326 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.]]> 2021-03-22 23:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340495326 https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340496066 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.

This is my first year of teaching and I started student teaching spring 2020.....

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.

I really like what Megan Leiva says. We love to teach the curriculum but it's all about student engagement.

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.]]> 2021-03-22 23:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340497919 lmartinhansen https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340498512 Science Education faculty at CSULB
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.

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!]]> 2021-03-22 23:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lcalifano1/snju63cjkhbfkzyu/wish/1340502150
