How much help for a first year teacher?

I just finished my first year of teaching and experienced the typical bumps and problems, mostly consisting of "Well THAT doesn't work" moments. It was stressful and difficult, as most first years are, and I had no one who could give me advice or simple little tricks to get through the day - besides Wong and Wong, anyway!

I remember my first years of teaching with great fondness. Despite the failures, it was a time of enthusiasm and creativity.
Too bad you didn't have a mentor. If you have an opportunity to give advice to a friend (and she is asking for it) it will be greatly appreciated. Remember to concentrate on the positive.....otherwise, she may be intimidated. It is great to have a mentor, although your experience may be limited.
You can discuss difficulties throughout the year.

P.S. I have been teaching for more than 25 years. My work is with at-risk teens. If you need advice, feel free to contact me and I can share with you. I have a very big bag of "tricks."

I wish I had someone to help me through the tough times when I began!
