Ease New School Year Teacher Anxiety

How I eased my anxiety about the new school year

This school year I am a bit anxious as I prepare to head back to school. I will be switching grade levels. As a result, I’ve been reading a lot of amazing posts from my fellow colleagues, full of tips to help ease my teacher anxiety about the new school year. I’ve enjoyed so many of the posts, that I decided to share some of them with my own readers. I hope they help you calm any anxiety you may be feeling about the coming school year too.

How I eased my anxiety about the new school year.

Are you switching grade levels this year?

I am. I actually asked to change grade levels this school year, because I was ready for a change. Changing grade levels is a great way to shake off any boredom, or burn out you may be feeling. Even though, I’m ready for this change – I’m still a bit anxious. Here is a wonderful post I recently read from Two Boys and a Dad. It is titled 5 Quick and Important Pieces of Advice When Switching Grade Level. It is full of tips which I will be using this school year, as I transition into my new grade level.

What is the most important thing for my students?

I read many blog posts about this. One unique post I read recently was from Elementary Matters. It is titled Lessons From a Bus Driver. It really hits home some simple reminders about what matters most to children. I found this post very refreshing. It helped calm my teacher anxiety because it reminded me about what is most important for the new school year – my students!

Looking for Engaging Ice Breakers?

I am always looking for fun ice breakers during the first weeks back at school. My favorite ice breakers are ones that incorporate a bit of learning as well. I found this great post from Enjoy Teaching. The post is titled: How to Make Back-to-School Math Fun.
