I'm having a lot of anxiety about starting the school year! What are some tactical things I should do over the summer to feel more prepared, and what should I deprioritize?

What advice do you have on building a good relationship with my administration? How often should a newer teacher be communicating with them? About what?

I have a parent who contacted me today and wants to help in the classroom, but I’m not sure how to have them help. Any suggestions?

I am setting up an Amazon wishlist for families to purchase items (optionally!) for our classroom. What are items I should include on that wishlist?

I am currently hosting a student teacher. What do you wish you knew when you were student teaching that I could share with them? (Other than joining us here!!) :)

What are some common misconceptions that first year or newer teachers have?

We are going on our first field trip of the school year this week. What are some “must have” things that you take along on every trip as the teacher?
