Keys To
☻Ask
your mentor for other helpful resources, such as conference materials/ideas
(ex. Santa Cruz Analysis of Student Work).
☻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.
☻Use
the school library!!! Libraries have a wealth of resources.
Librarians can help you find them.
☻Label your furniture, books, etc. Unlabeled resources may be misplaced during breaks.
☻If
you need something, ask for it! New teachers are in a unique position
to obtain the materials required to start out in a new school.
