3. Elyse McCrae Teacher Tips:
Subject/Grade Level: 9- 12 Social Studies
Years in Classroom: 6
Teacher Tips:
Parent Communication is essential, do not allow parents to feel surprised by progress reports and report cards. Contact them often with positive and negative feedback. I use the Remind App to communicate with my parents and students. 

4. Josh Jackson- 5th Grade Teacher in Milwaukee Public Schools
My five pieces of advice for any first year teacher are:
Always remember that tomorrow is a new day. A new day for you, a new day for your colleagues and a new day for your students.
Every one of your mistakes is a learning experience for you and for your students.
Never be afraid to say I’m sorry or I don’t know.
Find SOMEONE to vent about what is going on. You are not in this alone!
A win is a win not matter how big or small.

Years in Classroom: 3
Teacher Tips:

Interesting people make awesome teachers! Keep on doing things you love to do, and your students will benefit.
