See yourself on the first day of school. Realize that you have a very wide variety of students to teach this year. Connect with the feeling of your stomach being upset and acknowledge the fear of rising to the occasion of accommodating so much diversity. You have already been told you will have no aides or student teachers for this experience. You hear a thought inside your head ‘I’m not ready for this.’ You are at a book Fair, see ‘Facilitating Forward Progress With All Your Students Without Going Crazy, ‘ and you purchase it. Sitting in the back seat of another driver’s car, you start reading the pages, and your anxiety diminishes. The ideas for differentiating your classroom, grouping and regrouping students for pinpointed instruction, and using assessments and technology assure you that meeting the needs of your students is possible. Hallelujah…It will be a great year!
