Survivors...Two First Year Teachers Tell All

The first day on the job anywhere is exciting. But as we continue through that first day and even complete the first year, the thrill becomes less and less until it's just a job. Unless you're in education. Then that first day experience seems to happen day after day after day.  Beginning teachers get to experience many things that first year. First day of school, first teacher in-service, first faculty meeting, first parent/teacher conference, and the list continues all the way to the first last day of school. It is a magical time for sure.  And while we do not forget our first year, we often forget what it is like to experience it. That's why I've invited Aaron DeLay and Andrea Samayoa onto Anchored in Education today. Both have just wrapped up their first year of teaching. They bring unique perspectives from their first year as Aaron is a 6th grade ELA/Literacy teacher from Fort Morgan, CO and Andrea is a 2nd grade Dual teacher from a small suburb outside of Chicago.
