Good luck to all NYC teachers

and other staff. And hope this is a good start to a good year.

As trying as the two days in August may have been, tomorrow is the kids. For many of us, that’s the best part.

If you are brand new, brace yourself. You thought summer training was hard? Teaching is exhausting. Try to remember, when you get home, to take your shoes off. It’s kind of gross to wake up at 8PM with your shoes on. (from experience).

This summer I gave out lots of good new teacher tips and advice (well, I thought it was good, and lots of appreciative comments came back). I’ll put bits and pieces in this blog over the next week or two.
