Wrap Up
Any good resources that you know of?
With a little imagination and investigation, everything is a resource that will help to develop our skills as teachers.
“This is where we win or lose kids.”
--Mr. Fink
Final Advice from TeachersCorner What they never tell you in college is that some teachers can be very competitive,
jealous, paranoid, and even feel threatened by other teachers. You are a new teacher,
probably full of new ideas and have lots of hopes for your students and yourself. They
may be scared that you will bring changes in.
Most college teacher education programs will tell you not to get drawn into the
negativity. I was told not to have lunch in staff lounges with other teachers because all
the gossip and complaining would bring a person down. I was also told not to gossip in
the hall with other teachers.
What can you do? Try to buddy up to a quiet teacher who seems less likely to complain
and tends to not start great debates in staffing meetings. Positive remarks are few, but
when they do come they will be big enough to carry you through. You may soon find
that parents, former students, even other teachers will come back to you for small talk
and to seek your opinion on matters. This can be very rewarding. Keep at it. At the end
of the year you will probably get thank you cards and gifts for what you did for your
students from both students and parents. These are the most important comments to
have and on a bad day you can pull them from your desk drawer and realize that
someone recognized the concern, talent, and dedication you put forward. I hope things
get better for you.
