What advice would you share with new teachers? (Even better if it’s in haiku form!)


There will always be
More. Set boundaries and go
Easy on yourself.

— Lindsay Walker 

Embrace the challenge
Watch for classroom miracles
You DO make a change.

— Lori Szmul

Your journey begins
Slow down and take it all in
Be yourself and shine.

One day at a time.
Chase progress, not perfection,
Tomorrow can wait.

— Malorie Petersen

Please do ask for help.
Veterans have been there before
There is no judgment.

— Erin Krysko
