The journey takes teachers through college and staff development courses, professional conferences, readings, research, etc. Through these, effective teachers continue to learn and fine tune their teaching abilities. Prepare for a Gradual Introduction . You are not expected to teach from Day One. You are expected to observe and take notes of methods that work with the students you are preparing to teach.
Every student is different.
What works best with one may not work with another. Tune up those observational skills and discuss what you observe with your supervising teacher. Prepare to be Knowledgeable . Know your school's policies, procedures, and expectations. Review these policies as soon as possible.
