Do not ever give up! Give everything you’ve got and devote
yourself to making students understand.
Be Prepared! You can never over plan! Have plan A, B, and C!
Make lessons meaningful and engaging. Meet the goals of the
school district and align your lessons with the Pennsylvania
Academic Standards. Be knowledgeable and teachable!
Understand that sometimes students will not “get it” right away.
It is your job to do whatever probable to get them on the right
track.
Develop a classroom environment that is conducive to learning
and create a behavioral and management plan that is stern and
respectable.

Have excellent communication with EVERYONE; students,
administration, faculty, staff, and absolutely PARENTS!!!!
Be confident but humble. Inside the walls of the classroom, act
like you own the world and outside the walls, act like you are
only a piece of the puzzle.
Apply what you have learned to the classroom. Utilize all of the
materials and strategies that you created while in College.
Respect your students and they will respect you!
Be passionate and understand that it is your first year, you will
make mistakes. There will be times when you beat yourself up
over a lesson or a failed “plan” of some sort. Do not let it ruin
your self esteem. No one is perfect and we all learn everyday!

Get involved in the community! Offer to coach, become part of
different boards and organizations and offer community service.
But do not ever let anything get in the way of your teaching!
Leave your personal life at the door. There are too many kids
that rely on you and need the stability of an adult who cares.
Last but not least, love what you do and do what you love.
Things will work and things will not. Know that each child is
different. Embrace the magic of childhood and treat every
student as if they are your own! Be passionate and believe!
Teaching truly is believing!

“What nobler profession than to touch the
next generation- to see children hold
your understanding in their eyes, your
hope in their lives, your world in their
hands. In their success you find your
own, and so to them you give your all.”
