Hi Everybody!
It is getting close to that time of year where some teachers have already started back to school (OUCH!) or we are going to be in the coming weeks. I know, you don't want to hear about it or think about it right now, me either. I have been doing a linky each year towards the end of July on imparting our experienced teacher wisdom to those new teachers that will be starting for the first time ever. We can all say that teaching is not anything like it was when I first started teaching. I look at that and know that it is a positive or at least try to turn it into a positive. I, like most of my bloggy friends, are coming close to teaching for ten years on up to over thirty years. I personally have been a teacher for decades and things have changed significantly since I graduated from Berry College.
I want to welcome all of you as new teachers and say that as you enter this profession for the first time this year just be prepared. You will learn quickly who will and will not help you and those that will help without asking. There are teachers out there that still have a strong passion for teaching and can't think of doing anything else. There are also teachers out there that will teach one year and never do it again. Teaching is certainly not a profession that we go into to make money but we go into it because it is a calling. How many of you have known since you were a small child that you were going to be a teacher raise your hand? (my hand is raised)
So as our gift from all of the experienced teachers to those of you who are just graduating and looking so hard for a job, here is our gift to you. We are offering this blog linky to help you all out, because that is what excellent teachers do, we look out for each other. I want to thank each one of you just starting out for choosing the honorable profession of being an educator!
