Teach As You
For New Teachers At Private Schools
Teach As You Offers . . .
Emotional support
Teaching in a private school is tough, especially when you start out. Know your subject, learn the culture of your school, keep up with your advisees (and their parents), be professional but also yourself and, oh yeah, teach in a fashion you enjoy and can take pride in. It is easy to get frazzled.
We debrief so as to help each other make the days less draining, the work as fun and as rewarding as it can and should be.

Practical tools
What's the best way to ask questions? How much time should you put into preparation? How do you create the culture you want in your classroom? What's going on in the minds of your kids? What do you do with a student (or class) that causes difficulty.
As we answer these kinds of questions we will add to the tool box you can use to make your work more effective and less of a guessing game.
