Considerations for New Teachers and Those Who Support Them
Those entering the classroom for the first time experience a number of unique challenges. This is perhaps especially true for classical educators whose own educational backgrounds are not in “education.” This presentation is designed for those preparing to enter the classroom for the first time as well as for veteran teachers and headmasters who are seeking to better support their new (or newer) teachers. Mrs. Mullet will reflect on her first year in a Classical Lutheran classroom and the ways in which it was similar to and different from her experience as a classical homeschooling mom. She will provide practical items to consider for those preparing to enter the classroom, whether coming from a homeschooling background, a public school background, or even “square one.” She will also discuss logistical and administrative recommendations for veteran teachers and headmasters to aid incoming teachers in their transition into the classroom setting. Many of these practical, administrative, and logistical items will be beneficial not only for first-time teachers and those supporting them, but also for teachers who are transitioning from one school setting to another (a change in teacher call, a background in public school, homeschool parents transitioning to a classroom, and the like).
