Advice for a new teacher (besides RUN)🏃♀️
Hello! I’m currently in the middle of getting my masters in elementary education. I am almost 50 and I was a stay-at-home mom until two years ago when I got a job as a one-on-one para for a little kiddo with CP. I have experience with kids, I have five of my own, but they never got into trouble at school. I had teachers constantly thanking me for how my kids behaved at school and I just brushed it aside with a thanks. Now I see why they thanked me! I’ve worked in kindergarten and now first grade, so my eyes are open to how children behave these days and still decided I wanted to teach - so I guess as long-winded as this was (sorry), I do have an idea of what I’m getting myself into.😬 I’m looking for advice on how to talk to parents about their child’s behavior or having difficult conversations about grades, etc. Any phrases you stick with or???? Honestly, this is my biggest worry, dealing with parents that take no responsibility or ones that helicopter everything. Also, any tried and true ways you’ve used that help with classroom disruptions and behavior issues. If you’ve read this far, thank you!😊🥰 I hope you’re all enjoying your summer!
