As I reflect back on my time as a teacher, I truly believe the teaching professional is one of the most rewarding careers that one can serve in. Yes, I also believe that the aforementioned is one of service. I can vividly remember the onset of my teaching career and the many uncertainties. My life was impacted in a positive manner by great teachers that loved their students, colleagues, and communities.
The following are key items that I will discuss with my mentee:
M-Make sure you get off to a good start. As the old cliché goes, “the first impression is usually a lasting impression.”
E-Enjoy the profession and support your school, district, and community.
N- Never compromise your standing as a teacher.
T-Teaching is an art if not a science.
O-Organizational skills are a must and will certainly aid you in carrying out your daily duties and responsibilities.
R- Remember to ask questions if you don’t understand.
I-Ignore repeated attempts by other faculty and staff members to have you join the various “gossip”
clubs.
N-Names of people are good to remember.
G-Good things await you via the teaching profession.
