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,youll have your hands full with correcting grading
papers,preparing lesson plans,setting exams,managing classes and attending meetings.As a
result ,its almost expected that youll 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.
Dont expect too much of yourself as a novice teacher.You wont 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 schools mandated rules and procedures.By completing this step,youll be
effectively prepared to meet the biggest challenge youll 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 its easier to prpare them when
youre 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.Youlll save time and frustration by offering this servise to your studenr
and their often needy parents.
If your school doesnt automaticlly offer you a mentor, ask for help.It is often said that a
teachers survival is based on his ability to ask for lesson ideas.Dont be ashamed to do
this.You have a right to be annoying ; youre teinr to survive !This simply means that you
worry,and you are eager to learn
