Thanks to the bloggers at Teaching Science Today who share these “Top 10 Tips for Those Starting Teaching in September:

1. Use your summer to rest and improve subject knowledge
2. Make well being targets.
3. Radiators (energy givers) and drains (energy takers)
4. Don’t be blinkered.
5. Get the objectives right
6. Find the right shoulder to cry on
7. Practice activities/experiments before delivering them.
8. Professional persona
9. Get to know people around the school

A great list to review and practice even for those of us who have been teaching for a decade or more!
