    I was a new teacher in December of 2005. I was a Dec. graduate, so I took over a position mid-year in middle school. I never thought I would teach middle school; then I fell in love with it! My word is MAGICAL. ๐ŸŒŸ #edchatph

  • teacherforest Aug 31 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A1 there were 4 of us newbies, they each found their own clique leaving me alone. Barely any support and my co-workers didnโ€™t really mentor me at all. I was in trouble all the time. In short, my beliefs and ideas were not in synch. #edchatPH

    I wish I could answer that question since there isn't much of a crowd here! I am not a teacher. But I do communications related to education. And come from a family with a long history of education. A niece just had her first week of teaching. So I don't have one word! #EdChatPH

    There was a lack of support and mentoring from fellow newbies and experienced teachers. My ideas and philosophy werenโ€™t in sync. Hence I was not renewed after a year #edchatPH

  • Hell2Teach Aug 31 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Veteran teachers and office staff tend to forget that new teachers aren't acclimated to the site and don't have that 'sixth sense' yet...they need to know how to use the copier, find the bathroom, where the coffee is, what the rules and culture are, etc. Support is key. #edchatPH

    Keep interacting. Here is Q2... Instead of asking, 'How are you doing,' what should we ask the new teacher? #edchatPH
  • Hell2Teach Aug 31 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    That can be a blessing in disguise...finding the right site and team may take a few years and a few moves. It also takes a few years to find your style too. #edchatPH #newteacherjourney

    I sure hope other new teachers have the support you got. #edchatPH Some are sadly dropped in classrooms without guidance. It is an idealism killer.
    In reply to @Hell2Teach
  • Hell2Teach Aug 31 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A2 We should be asking the new teacher, "What can I help you with? Would you like to chat and throw around some ideas? Troubleshoot? Pick my brain?" #edchatPH #newteacherjourney

  • Hell2Teach Aug 31 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    I think this is a main reason why Twitter is so valuable. For any teacher - new and veteran, the edu-twitter community is welcoming and one of sharing of ideas and resources too. I find that I can maintain my idealism here for sure. #edchatPH #newteacherjourney

  • Mrs_Gilchrist Aug 31 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A2: I actually think "How are you doing?" can be a great opening question. The key is to then genuinely LISTEN to the response AND follow up with more specific questions if needed. Is there anything you're still wondering about? What's going well? What can I do to help? #edchatph

    A2: Hi all! We shouldn't be asking them anything specifically but supporting them. From an emergency guide to situations, to lots of random acts of kindness...new teachers need positivity to flourish. Love them and be the support you needed your first year.โค๏ธ #edchatPH

    A3 Not all stress is bad, first of all. I find it a great motivator to get "stuff' done. But there must be time for fun! Many new teachers are short on time and money so a bubble bath, good book, beach time, or a nap work well (dare I say a happy hour with friends too?) #edchatPH

    • AdamBrownEDU Aug 22 @ 7:23 AM EDT
      New Ts are experiencing a wide range of emotion this time of year. Excitement, stress, uncertainty, anticipation, hope, commitment. Veteran Ts and Admin can validate these feelings by letting them know that ALL staff are feeling the same and they are not alone. Simple reassurance
  • Hell2Teach Aug 31 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    Peer coaching isn't necessarily related to content. I'd focus on the idea that whoever the PC is, that s/he be capable of reserving judgment to help new Ts discover answers to their own Qs & how to address their own needs. Otherwise the PC becomes an instructional coach #edchatPH

      Want to combat new teacher burnout? Conduct a @voxer support group exclusive to new teachers within a department, school, district, etc. Have it led by an admin or mentor who poses guiding questions for new teachers to reflect and respond to. A quick and easy support network!

    New teachers also need to listen to criticism they receive without being resentful. Mind you it should be constructive criticism. Listen, think it over, revise, try again. Nothing impresses admin more than a teacher who can learn a lesson themselves! #edchatPH #newteacherjourney

    A3 itโ€™s not personal, donโ€™t make it personal. At the end of the day if the students are happy then youโ€™re an effective teacher #edchatph

      A3: Let them know they are enough. Stop glorifying busy. Self-care is essential. A work-life balance is, too. Share with them routines, etc. that help you accomplish your why while still taking care of yourself...and then see how they might personalize them. #edchatph

    Totally agree. Reality Check: There are some seasoned teachers who feel threatened to new teachers. They looked down new teacher capacities. I really agree that we should show positivity to them. #EdSharePH #EdChatPH
