Helping you help the future one student at a time!

Resources-4-Teachers provides new elementary school teachers educational resources for their classroom. This website was created specifically for busy novice teachers that don’t have time to spend searching the web and textbook for resources.

Tips for New Teachers:

Save your receipts. You might be able to use them on your tax returns.
Be as organized as possible. You can’t imagine the paperwork that is waiting for you!
Try to establish a relationship with a veteran teacher, one you admire and would feel you could learn a lot from. In some states, mentors are required.
Listen to advice from other teachers. You may have been trained well in college and feel you are prepared for the classroom — but your colleagues have many more years experience than you do and know the realities of the classroom.
Ignore the negative teachers — the naysayers. Yes, you will see many of these people in throughout your career.
Join any book clubs or other professional communities active in your school.
Try to attend professional development workshops provided by your school or district (or beyond).
Try to keep a journal or blog of your first year of teaching. It’s a great way to reflect on your experiences.
