The first year in the classroom can be both terrifying and exciting. First-year teachers have dreamt of standing in the front of their own classrooms and imparting knowledge on the next generation, but that first year is often fraught with obstacles. Presenter Waneta Hebert will share from her own experience of relocating from Ohio to Texas as a first-year teacher and how she not only survived, but thrived in the field of education. Now as an adjunct instructor, she will discuss how to support future teachers as they prepare to embark on their own teaching journeys.

For new and future teachers:

• Finding and building a support system.
• Avoiding common first-year mistakes.
• Owning and learning from mistakes.

For those who support new and future teachers:

• Being the support system.
• Deciding when to step in and when to step back.
• Advocating for new and future teachers.
