What advice do you have for teachers who are facing a change in their assignment?

 

Connect with teachers who have taught similar classes and teachers who just finished teaching the subject(s). Embrace a new learning journey and be kind to yourself.

Give yourself grace and patience. Lean into your community.

Change may bring challenges, but it also paves the way for self-discovery and advancement. As we embark on unfamiliar teaching territories, let’s ask ourselves: Where can this take me? What invaluable lessons will I learn from this experience? How will this new teaching assignment contribute to my personal and professional development?

See it as an opportunity to innovate and re-energize. You have the skill to teach, so you can focus.

Find a friend. Make a connection with a colleague who can help guide you with challenges and be kind to yourself. A good friend will point at what you are doing well that you don’t see.

Embrace it!
