Teacher Life
One question at a time.
Teaching gets overwhelming when you try to figure everything out at once.
Each week, I’ll send one thoughtful question, one practical idea, and one reminder that you’re doing better than you think.
No spam. Just helpful ideas for teachers.
I remember my very first day teaching.
As students walked into my classroom I thought to myself…
“Wait… what am I supposed to DO on the first day of school?”
And the questions just kept coming…
“What do I do at Open House? What should I send home?”
“What do I do on the morning of a Field Trip? What do I need to take with me?”
“What do I do if I think my student is faking an allergy??”
The problem was… who do I ASK?
They didn’t teach me this stuff in college.
They didn’t talk about it at professional development.
I had already dropped by my principal’s office 573 times before the first day of school…
What’s a new teacher to do??
I realized other new teachers had the same questions.
My student teachers had the same questions.
A decade in, I started working as a New Teacher Mentor and guess what? SAME QUESTIONS.
That’s when I realized - the questions AND the problem haven’t changed:
Who do new teachers ASK for help?
College classes, PD, and principals are great for content instruction, but it’s hard to find support for all the “other” stuff in teaching:
Field Trips. Parent Teacher Conferences. Classroom Libraries. Book Lists. First Day of School. Last Day of School. Everything else in between…
After I survived those first new-ish teacher years…
That’s where Teacher Questions started.
This is a space on the internet for new-ish teachers to ask questions, read answers, and enjoy a few stories along the way. Here are a few places to start…
Answers to questions from my teaching career and teachers just like you.
Resources to help support all of the “other” parts of teaching.
