Be Positive
7. Be positive. Administrators enjoy hearing how great
their school is, how much fun you are having as a teacher, how happy you
are that you know that you chose the right career, and other positive
messages. New teachers who are
already complaining about their plight raise a red flag. Almost any situation can be turned into
a positive if you have the right attitude.
For example, Mrs. Zimmerman was having trouble with “Dennis”, a
student in her 1st period class. When asked how things were going, Mrs.
Zimmerman chose not to focus on Dennis’ problems, but how she and Dennis’
mom are working together to help Dennis succeed. Even a mess-up on your part can have a
happy face put on it: You have
learned what NOT to do, and you will handle the situation differently next
time!
