    5| How Do You Do a Job No One Has Prepared You For?

    How many times have you been in a classroom or are thinking about going into a classroom and in the back of your mind there is this tape running saying “I should know how to do this?”  But ... you Don't know how to do it? I assure you, just because you have gone through school does not mean you have been equipped with the skills to teach school. It is completely different being a student and being the teacher. Honestly, how are you supposed to learn what to do without the training? That’s a major confidence buster. Questions to ask yourself: Have I been provided consistent training for this critical role? Did my substitute training address all essential competencies? Am I expected to maintain instructional continuity without being provided the tools to do so? You cannot be expected to have classroom management, teach a lesson, keep students safe, and ensure there is no disruption in their learning without being taught how to do it.  And not just one time. No one is capable of hearing something one time then going forth and doing it.  It takes repetition, support, and feedback from your experiences in with students.
