Get very organized before
Sept. 1 so you don't feel more
disoriented at the beginning of
the year than usual. |
Go out to coffee with
a colleague and pick his or
her brain for school gossip
so you don't go back
feeling totally out of place. |
 |
 |
Take a lighter workload
for the first year back. |
Try to get the lists of kids'
names so you can
familiarize yourself with
them - you won't have
anyone from "last year!" -
It'll be a whole new lot! |
 |
 |
Watch some inspirational
movies like "Dead Poet's
Society" or "To Sir With
Love", etc. |
Plan to implement
something new, something
you hadn't done in
previous years (such as
having a class website or
trying new drama
activities). |
 |
 |
Remember why you chose to
be a teacher in the first place! |
