Support

This year my school has monthly meetings for first year teachers. It is run by the Student Advocate from our 9th Grade Academy. She taught for 30 years, retired for 2, and came back.

I sat in on today's meeting. I wish this had been around my first year. I got support from individual teachers when I started, but nothing like this. Half of the people at the meeting were experienced teachers. We all shared things we'd learned the hard way. It was a good experience.
