Starting your first teaching job is exciting! It is also a very scary venture if you have not had all the experiences necessary to provide you with the knowledge needed to be a great first year teacher. I have taught for twenty plus years and I have mentored student teachers for many years as well. I know that from talking to them and from the research that I have done, there is a lot that I can share with you. I have located many websites that will provide you with information that will help you prepare for that first year and even more important that first day. I want to make your first year as exciting as I have always found teaching. Welcome aboard to a great profession! Click on the door to enter the world of the “Beginning Teacher. ”
