First day at a new school as a CRT? 🍎
Even experienced teachers can have that moment when they arrive:
"Okay... where do I go now?" 😄
New school. New routines. New classroom. New students.
And sometimes you have less than 30 minutes to work it all out.
Our latest article is a practical guide to making those first 30 minutes a little easier.
A few simple things can make a big difference:
🟠 Arrive a little early
🟠 Start at the office
🟠 Get your timetable and the essentials
🟠 Find your classroom
🟠 Introduce yourself to nearby teachers
🟠 Understand the school's expectations
🟠 Ask questions when you're unsure
🟠 Take a moment before the bell
Most importantly, you don't have to walk into a new school knowing everything.
Be professional. Ask questions. Follow the school's processes. Be willing to adapt.
And the next time you go back? It will already feel more familiar.
