In case you didn't know. I have recently taken up a quest to become an elementary school teacher.
Here are some things I have learned...
1)Always befriend the janitors.
2)Never do anything for a kid that he can't do himself.
3)You're the boss, not a friend. Therefore, master your "you're dead" look.
4) Teaching is 80% classroom management, including the rules, environment and daily routines. The rest is lesson plans. Blah.
If I can teach them these three things in this order, they're golden.
1) STANDARDS: sadly, standards have to be the first thing they learn if they are to pass the tests. If not for their benefit, for mine.
2) GOOD PEOPLE: give them a moral compass, teach them how to think, how to learn, and how to embrace the unknown.
3) INSPIRE: inspire them to reach new heights.
