I'm linking up with Deb at Fabulously First for her Teacher's Wisdom Linky Party. What's crazy to me is that I am offering advice. I've been doing this for 4 years now and I think one of my greatest strengths in teaching is that I listen to my students. I mean REALLY listen. I also find great value in having a mentor teacher. I had one my first year and it is a friendship that I have continued over the years. Go ahead and share your wisdom and link up with Deb too! Maybe share this linky with some newbies in your district :)
That's great advice! I will always remember how helpful my mentor teacher was. She was so supportive and always there when I needed her. She was so reassuring when I was a nervous wreck! :)

Learning Is Something to Treasure
Thanks for the great advice! I will be a first year 2nd grade teacher this year! My student teaching teacher told me about the value of having a mentor. I have already asked my new principal about the mentor program and they have one lined up for me! I can't wait to read more on your blog!
