Like a good Boy Scout, Be Prepared. Highlight key words in the textbook, write them on the board, discuss them. At the bottom of the page next to the page number write "turn to page XX" to keep yourself ontrack. At the bottom of that page write "do project XX" At the bottom of that write "discuss the test for next week".

Fear is so common even when we have experience in our field. We have to be prepared but also a key part of the preparation is to remember that the student is there to gain from the knowledge and experience that we have. When we focus on that, then we are able to let those fears subside.

Tips for new teachers:
1.You will never be done
2.You have to know when it’s time to rest
3.Record what you want to fix for next year
4.Find Positive People
5.You will mistakes. Don’t worry – everyone else has too.
6.It gets easier. After a few terms a little bit of magic happens as the kids realise you’re there to stay
7.Get involved in the life of the school (but try not to work through your lunch break)
8.remain teachable – seek new learning constantly
9.smile through all the ‘stuff’, it passes and teaching is totally worth it :)

The biggest fear of a new instructor is not being able to articulate, even though the instructor has many years of experience.
