This is how I’m spending my week!!!! #NYC bound!!!! Summer Residency with the Center for Educators & Schools | The New York Public Library https://t.co/TfL3RI0u6q
There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence.
The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year.
Support your new teachers.
🔺Check on them daily.
🔸Model lessons for them.
🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1.
🔸Provide specific feedback.
🔺Model the first phone call home.
🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them.
🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often.
Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple.
What did I miss?
Coaches, know this much: A handwritten card by your team to anyone who was involved with activities during the year goes a long way! Have your players show support for those who were there for them and normally don't get thanks. Parents who provided meals, gates crew, ANYONE!
Today is Dracula Day! On this day in 1897, Irish author Bram Stoker published his famous novel Dracula 🦇🩸 Have you read it? Do you like it? I personally love it, so I'm really happy to find there is a World Dracula Day!
I'm proud to announce the 2023 Congressional Art Competition winner for #MO05, William Brown & his piece entitled "Blue Slumbers". William is a 2023 graduate of @LSR7 and plans to pursue art education at @MissouriState in the fall!
Congrats, William! I wish you all the best!
