Dear Edutopia Community,

During your first year of teaching, you probably experienced many feelings: nervousness, excitement, intimidation, and joy. You’ve undoubtedly gained a lot of wisdom in navigating these moments, and that’s why I’m reaching out.

We’re curious: What advice would you give a first-year teacher?

Whether your tip is connected to successful classroom management, building rapport with students, engaging families, or coping with the tough days, we’re eager to share your words of wisdom. If you’re just starting out, we hope these messages provide the information and inspiration you need—during Year One and beyond.

Cheers to a new year,

Samer Rabadi
