A new teacher wants help to start their teaching career. I have taught 4th-8th and been a Principal'll heip

Question

Plan thoroughly...over plan. Test the children, to know where they are in reading, math and spelling. Get next to a "seasoned" teacher to see what they do. But, before you can teach, you must have good discipline! Students must know the "rules" of the classsroom! What they can do and what is not allowed. Ex. "When I am speaking to all, no one else talks. When we work as groups/in groups, you can talk, but softlly, etc. These things are much more valuable to you and your classroom, then having all the knowledge that you will be sharing. They will also love you, and so will your parents. Over-plan! Bill

Answer 1

No question here but it seems like you want to give this forum guidance on assisting a person to become a teacher.  That is good in itself, but Y!A wants you to formulate a question for others to share "their" knowledge and answer the question.  I don't take stock in "over-planning" do to the time consumption it takes to plan, but it is a necessary evil to do some planning.  MENTORING, is what you are suggesting here, and that is a good idea.  

Answer 2

Oh, I certainly hope you haven't been a teacher or a principal, given all those grammatical and spelling errors!

Answer 3

I am confused about exactly what your question is? Also, as a Principal, watch those grammatical and spelling errors...

Answer 4

Ummmm, sorry pal, but there is no way you used to be anything in education. That is some of the worst advice I have seen.
