Keys To

☻Don't be drawn into gossip with other teachers about individual students.  This is not only unprofessional, but it is also ILLEGAL.  Stand up against inappropriateness, even though you may be new.

☻Meet with members of your department to discuss the expectations of grading (ex; when are grades due per period, etc.)
 

☻Find someone in your department to bond with.  This gets you more resources and makes it easier to deal with certain problems unique to your subject/school.

☻Find another first year teacher to talk with... sharing your fears and ideas with someone in the same position can boost your self-confidence.
 

☻Visit online discussion boards to post anonymous questions and get more colleague input.
