All the Things I Wish I Had Known as a New Teacher

Clinic Synopsis:

This session will feature the biggest mistakes of my teaching career as I started out teaching. This clinic will present my takeaways from them and will hopefully provide guidance for young teachers and assistance so that they do not make the same mistakes I did! I will humbly share the top ten lessons I wish I had known before I started teaching and have painfully had to learn over the years.
