Hello! Sorry you've had a rough semester! I did have a professor once say that, "If college wasn't difficult it wouldn't be worth it." …at the time, it didn't ease the stress of the projects he'd assigned – but looking back I understand it a little more now.

I studied both theatre education and english education. I'm by no means an expert, but I have learned a few things about myself in the transition from college pre-educator to classroom teacher:

  • Teaching is about stamina. Until you're student teaching, you won't get an idea of just how exhausting it is to teach 5, 6, 7 classes in a row with no breaks for months on end. Even on my best days, teaching feels like walking on a treadmill that is just slightly too fast.

  • Make sure your "worst days" are still tolerable. We all have stuff that comes up - outside or inside school. You've got to find your "resting teacher face." Even when the shit hits the fan, you're still responsible for maybe 100+ students. On the days where you can't give them your best, make sure you're still able to give them something.

  • The best classroom management is interesting content. Educators and educators in training talk a lot about classroom management - what rules do you have, how do you enforce them, are they fair, what's the system, etc. If you can set up your classroom to engage students with content that the find actually useful and legitimately interesting, then your classroom will manage itself.

  • Convince kids to not worry about grades. The A through F, points based, percentage based grading system is the WORST thing to happen to modern education. Alfie Kohn explains it well. Certainly, you're not going to convince your principal to get rid of report cards, – but you CAN do some creative maladjustment (fabulous book - highly recommended). Convince your kids that, if they try to be interested in the subject matter and put in their best effort, then the grades will come.

    …at least, those are the big four things on my mind right now. 😁

    Let me know if you have any other questions or are looking for other specific advice! I might be slow to respond, but I WILL respond…eventually.
