My Advice to New Teachers (and Old)

Teaching is a rewarding profession.  Teaching is an amazing, fulfilling, dynamic profession.  Teaching can also be a draining, depressing and stressing profession.  How do we stay afloat?  There are many simple things we can do in order to keep ourselves thrilled about waking up each morning and working with the future leaders of our society.

1.  Don’t take yourself too seriously.  You will make mistakes, lots of them.  If you are able to understand that teaching is about trial and error, about growth and learning, you will feel happier.  All teachers make mistakes – analyze what works well and what does not and use that understanding to continue to improve.  Analyze, DON’T self-criticize.
