If I were to give any advice, it would be to
Build relationships with your students
Inside the classroom - support them as much as you can, and
outside of the classroom as much as you can
Take it one day at a time
Never stop learning, and don't be afraid to fail
You need to leave school at school.
Take care of yourself. Let yourself go home.
Talk to real human beings outside of work.
Build positive relationships with your students, and to be firm and consistent.
Ask a lot of questions, even if you think you're asking too many.
Hopefully you're going into education because you love kids and you want to help them grow.
Always put them first.
Go to basketball, baseball, football, volleyball -
dance recitals, piano recitals - as many things as you can to support your students
because it will greatly affect your relationship in the classroom
Because there are days that are really really good
and there are days that are really hard
but when that student that you've been working with over and over and over again finally gets something
and you get to celebrate with them
You realize that teaching is NOT just a profession.
It's more than that. It's a calling.
Go Cru!
