Pass it on...Teacher Tips to Close out a Great School Year!

My first teaching position consisted of a few days of shadowing a wonderfully gifted teacher, receiving a key with a smile and then left on my own. It was tough, I could barely manage lesson plans let alone a classroom full of second-chance at-risk students, but I LOVED my new career and I was determined to help my students succeed.
I went to every experienced teacher on campus asking question upon question, attending training and finally becoming the kind of teacher I wanted my students to have. I have to thank all of the patient veteran teachers and principals who were willing to help me when things got tough.
With that said, I missed the opportunity to sit with a first-year teacher and offer up a bit of sage advice from my experiences in the past 13 years of teaching. So, to keep my word I created a short informational video that I hope in some small way will help new teachers diving headlong into one of the greatest and toughest professions out there.
