Spring 2012: Blog Post #1

Entering the professional field can bring with it a series of unique challenges. As we see in today's installment of Lizzy's story, school teachers must consume a great deal of information during the first few days of the school year. As we reflect on Lizzy's experiences, consider the questions that followed the first chapter:

• How will she spend her time this weekend? Is it more important to learn the district’s policies or prepare for the students?
• Is there anything Lizzy could have done to be better prepared for the things that happened to her this week?
• How do you think you will react when you go through new-teacher orientation and the other meetings associated with the beginning of school?
• What, if anything, can you do now to prepare?

Welcome!
