Tips for New Teachers
As a new teacher, you are going to make mistakes, be stretched beyond your comfort zone, work longer hours than you ever thought possible and probably question why you became a teacher in the first place. Take heart! You are not alone. It is critical for new teachers to take the time to reflect, refresh and renew the passion that inspired each of us to positively impact the life of a child. Here are some tips that a veteran teacher shared with me and I want to pass them along to you:
1.
Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the
ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Commit to get more sleep.
