As a new teacher there is often so much to think about, for example what kind of expectations am I going to have for my students? What kind of discipline or rewards will I have for my students? How will I communicate with the parents of my students? Those questions are only the beginning of many more questions to follow, however every teacher needs to start somewhere. In order not to get overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done every teacher should have some sort of calender or list of things to do to keep them on track. Organization is the key and by keeping a tangible reminder of things that need to be finished you will be more successful at finishing everything that needs to get done. But what should go on your list? How do you even begin to get organized? (The link previously provides is a great start!) However there are also other great places to look offered on the web, teachers are always trying to help echer out so take a look you never know what you could find!
Getting started is the hardest part of getting organized, once you develop a system that works best for you and meets the needs of your students you will not feel so overwhelmed and lost. The important thing is not to give up and don't be afraid to mid-year change soemthing that has not been working well for you. Ask around, ask your collegues what works best for them, there is no better resource! Hceck online, do some searching, it won't tak long and you can always find something great!
