A new teacher thinks that teaching would not be a shock because school is a familiar setting. However, it is different to be a student that to be a teacher. Now the teacher have to develop lesson plans and manage the classroom. Some teachers experience the same stress that someone that move to a different culture would experience. The first year of a new teacher is critical because due to cultural shock and disappointment a large number of teachers leave the profession. It is important to understand that as a new teacher there is a lot to learn and should reach to other teachers for mentoring. These teachers went through the same feelings that you are feeling now. Principals and administrators will also help the new teacher succeed.
Teachers needs to keep some distance between them and the students. They are students and not friends.
The relationship between parents and the teacher is very important. They need to work together to help the student succeed in school.
New teachers will get evaluations throughout the year, and the new teacher needs to take this evaluations seriously and improve in the items that are point out as a weakness.
Finally, new teachers needs to take care of their health. Stress will make their defenses go down and that will make them sick.
