I have about one year left until I graduate and become a teacher. I have heard so many stories about how new teachers get so overwhelmed and burnt out so early on in the year or throughout their teaching careers. How can I make sure that this doesn't happen? How can I manage my personal and teacher life to ensure a balanced approach?
I love this solution. You are spot-on, remember when interviewing potential future schools that after all is said and done, you are the one who is interviewing the school. Have questions prepared and remember exactly what made you want to teach in the first place. Staying true to who you are is key within this whole system.
