Here is my road map for the next year after induction...
How will I stay connected? - I love to go to conferences every couple of years to see what is out there! - I participate in department trainings that our district math coaches host - I have even considered joining a blog
How will I sustain my enthusiasm for teaching? - I have always wanted to be a teacher, so this is a dream come true for me - I form positive relationships with my colleagues to help keep us going! - I would like to be a mentor someday to other new teachers
Some advice for new teachers... - Ask for help, you will need it and teachers LOVE to help - Find a good way to stay organized, this helps cut down on the chaos - Take time for yourself, you don't have to work at home all the time too - In your first year, find 3 good resources that work and stick with them - Only change 2 things each year, don't try to change everything at once
