Teaching

This blog is specifically for "new" teachers and current teachers.  New teachers, by my definition, are anyone who has been teaching less than 5 years.  As a retired teacher, who taught 35 years, from preschool to the last 26 years in high school, this is advice that is not taught in college or student teaching.  This blog is honest, blunt, and yes, I am speaking for many veteran teachers who are too nice to tell you the truth.  I don't have that problem:)

​

Follow the advice and your will have a wonderful teaching career with fantastic colleagues.

​

For current teachers, these blogs are to help let the public know what it is like to teach in school systems.  It's also a good place to vent:)

COMMENTS:  I would love to hear your positive, constructive comments on my posts.  Please do not solicit, use any remarks that are not respectful & safe for all, and no spam.
