Dennis Roeder is a fairly new teacher, having only worked in the profession for a little over a year. Moving to a new school can be difficult for teachers, whether they are new to the job or have spent many years at another institution. There are a few things that you can do to ease the transition a little, including all of the below.
Explore The School
Once you have accepted the job you should spend a little bit of time exploring the school and getting to know it a little bit. Pay particular attention to the routes that you will need to take to get to your classrooms and where important places, such as the faculty room and principal’s office are. This will ensure you feel more comfortable in your surroundings when you actually start your role.
Make Friends
Your fellow faculty members should prove to be very welcoming of you, so make it a point to introduce yourself and ask questions so that you can get to know other teachers. Not only does this create bonds that will help you to feel happier in your work, but you will also be able to learn more about how the school operates and what is expected of you.
Be Confident
Dennis Roeder projects confidence in all of his lessons to earn the respect of his students. Some students may seize upon nervousness, so it is important that you make a good first impression in the classroom and hide any feelings of anxiety or doubt. Be confident in your skills and let that shine through in your lessons.
