You’ve done it, new teacher. You made it through the first grading period. If I remember correctly, you are feeling frazzled and not sure if you’re doing a good job.
Deep breaths. Deep cleansing breaths. You’re doing great. You have probably wondered, at least once since school started, why didn’t they tell me this in school? Great question! No matter how wonderful your teacher prep program was, nothing can prepare you for standing, all alone, in front of your first class.
I asked my PLN (personal learning network) what they wish they had known that first grading period. Here’s some things to consider as you continue your awesome work in the second grading period.
Grades. This was the number one thing my PLN wishes they had known – You don’t have to grade everything. You have, no doubt, already spent countless hours at night and on the weekend grading papers. The purpose of grading is to assess for mastery. Decide which activities will help you assess for mastery most efficiently, grade those things and move on. When you introduce a new topic, check for understanding often. This can be a formalized assignment or informally in class. Either way, it doesn’t have to be a grade. The focus on your class is your students and your content, not grades. Make sure you know your school’s grading policy and adhere to it but don’t feel like you have to grade everything. A word to the wise, though, if you send work home – please grade or check it. There’s nothing that upsets parents more than wasting their time.
Parents.
Resources.
Love the Ugly Cats. I wish I could remember where I first heard this phrase but it has been of great service in my career. You know the ugly cats – those students who are hard to love. Work extra hard to love on them. Trust them with errands. Eat lunch with them. Encourage them. Ugly cats are usually lacking positive adults in their lives. Once they know you love them, there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for you.
Always remember, you might be the brightest spot in a student’s day – shine bright!
