ABSTRACT

More than ever before, excellent teaching takes teamwork. At times you may feel as though you are flying solo in your teaching, but know that you have a support system behind you. Draw on and use the various resources available to you—in your school and community and through professional organizations and their online communities. Look to a peer teacher you respect, an assigned mentor, guidance counselor, child study team, and the administrative team for assistance. Gain knowledge and help from excellent educational content and community sites, such as https://www.kdp.org" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">www.kdp.org. Remember, it is alright to ask for help. Taking a proactive approach to challenges and unresolved problems advances your professional knowledge and capabilities to create a continually improving classroom environment.
