Advising a young teacher, I remembered my first experience in school.
...a Young 22-year-old girl. Height 156, weight 46. Presented?
I was full of strength and energy. Left of the beloved city on the distribution away from mom and dad to start an independent life.
it seemed to Me that I'm all light, all will be mastered. I do – hoo!
Remember, the kitten who looks in the mirror and sees a lion? So approximately I felt.
I saw myself as a qualified experienced teacher who are in love with all the students. They work on the lesson, do all homework assignments.
However, something went wrong...
At the first lesson, the students behaved as if I'm invisible. They ran around the class screaming, throwing chalk. (Oh, and I got from colleagues working in this office!)
And this is the FIFTH grade!
And ninth-graders treated me very aggressively: defiantly refused to work, threw a replica regarding my figure, my clothes.
Many years later I learned that they saw me as a competitor and was scared for his boys.
the school year has become for me a nightmare. I did not take children, I have been disgruntled parents, colleagues. The presence of the lessons of the administration and other teachers did not decide anything. As soon as I was left alone with the class, discipline to keep failed.
I "bowed" at all meetings. Colleagues hoped that I "break down" and leave. (To fire me as a young professional, could not).
But, there it was!
every summer vacation I worked on myself. I didn't know what to do and how. Trust yourself, your intuition.
What was the astonishment of colleagues when going to work from vacation, I asked you to trust me with classroom management, as well as a separate office.
I was not hoping for success, but a miracle happened! I was entrusted with classroom management in that class, students who threw chalk. Together with a colleague, the same young teacher, we got the Cabinet (a complete wreck). By the beginning of the academic year the office was put in order.
thus began a new phase of my professional life. Around me has changed everything. I started to respect pupils, parents and colleagues.
Since then many years have passed, but I often think about your past experience.
It was then that I realized that if you want to change the world, change yourself.
At that time I had no knowledge, no experience, no support. It was just a desire and confidence.
Now I want to support all teachers who face difficulties in their professional activities.
Dear colleagues! Offer You professional psychological help.
I will listen and support You, and together we will find a way out of this situation.
