Key Points: In this article, a third year High School teacher dispenses some advice on how to survive your first year without drowning. She lays out some practical strategies for staying on top of work instead of letting it overwhelm you. She also emphasizes finding a healthy work/life balance, which is critical for maintaining your sanity.
Relevance While This is written for brand new teachers (which we all will be), the advice and tips are useful reminders for all teachers to try to implement not only to help them be better teachers, which obviously benefits their students as well.
