6 mistakes teachers make in their first year at school and what they lead to

Pedagogical graduates often come to school very motivated and full of energy. And after a year they feel burnout. We tell you what to do in order not to be disappointed in pedagogy. Just remove the «NOT» particle and do everything according to the list below.

1. (Not) ask for help

When a teacher just came to school and doesn’t know anyone, he may feel uncomfortable. Remember new students in classes: everyone looks at them, asks questions, sometimes checks their boundaries. So the teacher in the new team will enjoy increased attention. Try to take advantage of this attention for yourself.

Ask questions of those who have been working at this school longer than you: fellow teachers, librarian, security guard. Some will gladly share their experience and knowledge with you. This will make it easier for you to adapt to school.

Beginning teachers are often afraid of appearing weak or incompetent: they don’t ask for help, they don’t ask questions. As a result, the first quarter or even six months feel lost.

Ask the principal or administration staff what benefits and helpful resources are available to new teachers. Some schools have online or face-to-face groups and special classes for teachers, teacher libraries or pedagogical competitions, seminars, trips.

If you have questions that you would like to ask a wider audience of colleagues (especially if you want to do so anonymously), you can get support from online teacher communities. Perhaps this community will support you at the beginning of your pedagogical path.

2. (Not) build personal boundaries

Personal boundaries are not just a buzzword, it’s important that students treat you with respect and care. If you don’t like the fact that children are noisy, late, you can always politely voice it. You should not endure to the last: children are only learning to respect other people’s boundaries, and it will be very useful for them to receive such lessons from their teacher.

English high school teacher Kelly says: “One day after school during my freshman year, I was on the verge of hysteria and told my colleagues about the lack of respect from my students. A more experienced teacher approached me and put her hands on my shoulders. She said, «I think you’re afraid to show the kids that they’ve crossed a line because you think you’re going to look angry. But this is not so! Think of those kids in the class who are trying to learn but can’t because others are getting in the way.» It was the best advice.»

Establishing and protecting personal boundaries is not easy, and does not happen overnight. Expecting perfection from yourself is a sure path to disappointment. At the same time, the stage when students will perceive the new teacher with caution and check the boundaries of acceptable behavior is inevitable, but it also passes quickly. When you get to know the children better, and they get to know you better, it will become easier to determine within what boundaries you are comfortable staying with each of the children and parents.

If you don’t like what they write to you after working hours, bombarded with voice messages — discuss this at a meeting with parents, announce that you are ready to help children, but you also have time to relax. And he must be respected.

3. (Not) leave school after class ends

One of the hardest things about teaching is realizing that there is always more you can do. During the first year, many teachers regularly stay late at school because they feel like they have to finish an endless to-do list. They overwork, but often still feel like they’re not doing enough.

Prioritization will change the rules of the game. Divide one giant list into three columns: what needs to be done that day, by the end of the week, and when you will definitely have free time. By prioritizing tasks, you will feel better.

It’s OK to schedule a work day with a fixed start and end

Unless it’s an emergency or student safety issue, nothing on the teacher’s to-do list is considered an emergency. What may seem like a crisis that you need to deal with as soon as possible can become a much more manageable process with the advice of experienced colleagues (or just after some time for reflection that you give yourself).

4. (Not) separate personal money and school expenses

Some teachers want their class to look perfect, like a pretty picture on social media. Someone just worries that there is no sponge in the class to erase from the board. Teachers buy something for the interior or the educational process on their own.

Ask colleagues or school administrators before making purchases with your own money. Most likely, one of your colleagues has what you need, or someone knows a good store where you can get what you need at a discount.

Some regions have grants that you can apply for and buy some equipment or books for the school.

Parents can donate something for the school (voluntarily, of course) if they have extra books or some interior items at home. If you are missing something for the class, write it down on a piece of paper as a list, show it to your colleagues, parents of children: maybe you can find something you want and not buy it with your own money.

5. (Not) praise yourself

Some of the fears you have in your first year of teaching may be justified. You worry that you don’t have enough control over the class. That the word game you came up with was actually very boring. That you drink too much coffee at work. And then… You feel like the worst teacher in the world. Every time the secretary calls, you are afraid that you are about to be fired. If you don’t stop the chewing gum thinking that you’re not good enough — here, there, here — in a year you will find yourself in the state of «I’m generally a bad teacher.»

If you invest resources in your students by developing sufficiently effective lessons (even if they are not as effective as you would like or as a colleague) and correct your mistakes, students will notice and appreciate it. Gradually, you will build a process if you maintain a healthy self-esteem, and it is difficult to build something from the point “I am an unworthy teacher”. But if you feel signs of burnout and fatigue, talk about it with someone: with relatives, a psychologist, colleagues.

6. (Not) notice your needs

At one of the teachers’ meetings, you can hear the principal’s half-hour speech about the «best» teacher. He left work later than the guard. He was at every game, musical, concert. He never took a day off and showed up to class even when he was sick. He taught lessons every day after school and even on Saturdays when asked to do so. Stayed up late, always said yes, and put my needs last. It sometimes takes young teachers years to realize that the amount of time spent in school is not at all equal to the quality of teaching.

The education system often exploits the unpaid labor and kindness of teachers. And some directors will continue to glorify teachers who do not take care of themselves.

Take personal and sick days. Each year, you will have more than enough opportunities to build relationships with your students. You will not get back lost time with family, children, friends.

«The Perinatal Center based on the hospital named after L.A. Vorokhobov began work in May 2022. It is the largest in Russia both in terms of area and medical capabilities. All the necessary conditions have been created here so that women and newborns receive assistance at the highest level.The center is part of the structure of one of the leading multidisciplinary hospitals in Moscow, which allows the involvement of multidisciplinary teams of doctors of various profiles in the treatment and diagnostic process.Almost six thousand children were born in the perinatal center during the year.The medical institution provides all the necessary assistance: from pregnancy management to monitoring newborns, including those children who were born prematurely with low and extremely low body weight.The most modern equipment, advanced techniques and a professional team are the main components of the successful and efficient work of the center,» said Anastasia Rakova.

The center is integrated into the system of a multidisciplinary clinic and is provided with expert support of a multidisciplinary team around the clock.

The Perinatal Center is equipped with high-tech expert-class equipment, including heavy medical equipment: computer and magnetic resonance tomographs, angiograph, ultrasound machines, mammographs, X-ray equipment. It is provided with a full complex for anesthetic and resuscitation measures for women in labor and newborns. This allows surgical treatment of newborns in the first hours or days of life.

Since the opening of the perinatal center, more than 100 babies born with extremely low body weight (up to 1 kilogram) have been nurtured.

«Modern possibilities of medicine allow nursing children born even with extremely low body weight. The smallest patient who was born in our perinatal center was a baby weighing 488 grams. He was born at a period of 22 weeks and 3 days and spent 4 days in the center month: the doctors did everything necessary to get this baby out.The key to the successful rescue of such children is the high level of obstetric and gynecological service and neonatologists.This is facilitated not only by technical equipment and the constant renewal of the equipment park, to which Moscow pays special attention, but also by the development personnel potential of health care», — said the chief physician of the City Clinical Hospital named after.
