The text
Ever
since i was a little girl,i knew that i wanted to teach.While i was
growing up i had a chalkboard in my room and i used to pretend i was a
taecher to my teddy bears.My dad is a high school teacher and i always
wanted to help him correct his students’ work.I also knew that i wanted
to teach young children.I did not want to go into the high school to
teach.I always loved children,i started to baby sit by the time i was
13.While i would baby sit,i always tried to help them with their
homework and do anything that would be educational.Teaching has always
been a passion and now i am starting to live it out.My mother always
asks me why i want to do this.My answer is simple.I love children and i
want to be part of their growth,not just intelectually but also
emotionally.I experienced so many amazing things in this job that i
would like to give some recommendations to new teachers.
As
a new teacher of English,you’ll have your hands full with correcting
grading papers,preparing lesson plans,setting exams,managing classes and
attending meetings.As a result ,it’s almost expected that you’ll feel
near your braeking point at least once during your first year.To pravent
total insanity, and to achieve the right balance of
responsibilities,refer to these tips.
Don’t
expect too much of yourself as a novice teacher.You won’t be an expert
the first year,and no one expects you to be .Rely on the fact that you
know your ******* ;those ‘’teacher skills’’ will come from experience.
Before
the school year begins,make sure you have solide classroom rules and
procedures for your students to follow, and that they are displayed
somewhere in your room.You should also be familiar with the school’s
mandated rules and procedures.By completing this step,you’ll be
effectively prepared to meet the biggest challenge you’ll face as a
novice :managing your classroom.
In
addition,prepare lesson plans as well as yearly planning even before
the school year begins.You never know when you might need sub plans,and
it’s easier to prpare them when you’re feeling well.But ,to do this,you
must be familiar with reference documents that help you understand the
approach and the finalities to implement.Make sure that planning is
vital.If your students are not engaged by your additional chores like
meeting with the head taecher and calling parents.Avoid stress by being
prpared for class.
Then
,if possible,subscribe to educational websites. The websites might
include assigned homework, the date of upcoming tests and porjects,your
contact information, and links to important handouts.Youl’ll save time
and frustration by offering this servise to your studenr and their often
needy parents.
If your
school doesn’t automaticlly offer you a mentor, ask for help.It is often
said that a teacher’s survival is based on his ability to ask for
lesson ideas.Don’t be ashamed to do this.You have a right to be annoying
; you’re teinr to survive !This simply means that you worry,and you are
eager to learn……………
