New Teachers - 33 Ways to Start the Year

33 WAYS TO START THE
YEAR OFF RIGHT!

DO YOUR BEST Determine what factors are likely to keep you from doing your job during the school year. Then figure out a way to work around them. For example: How will you work with too many students in your class? How will you deal with the wide range of student abilities? How will you deal with disruptive students?	LOOK FOR SOME HOPE Give yourself a lift toward getting in the proper frame of mind by watching for something hopeful. It may be that student who comes up to you and gives you an indication he or she learned something within the first week of school. Maybe it's the child who speaks to you in the parking lot and uses your correct name!
BE REALISTIC Don't let your sincere concern for each child turn into a depressing experience though fear of failure. You will not win the battle with every student.	BE PREPARED FOR SPECIAL STUDENTS You may have students with special learning problems or pyhsical handicaps. Don't expect those problems to work themselves out. Plan from the beginning how you will deal with them in the best interests of the students, yourself and the rest of the class.
