David Wees and I had a discussion today about how we could better support new teachers. One of the great mysteries when I began my career was what to do on the first day. During our teacher training we never got to see how a teacher starts the school year. My job would have been so much easier if this had been part of my training.
Out of this was born the hashtag #NewTeacher1stYear and thanks to Lisa Dabbs and Jana Scott Lindsay a You Tube Channel Teachers can create and post videos of how they do things. There are really no video resources that we could find showing teachers how to begin. If you are already working on a project such as this, please let us know.
David provides greater detail on his blog about the ways experienced teachers could share their "trade secrets" ;)
