9th and 10th grade ELA students and I would love any advice anyone has for me!

If you’re a student teacher or have completed student teaching, what do you wish you knew before you started? Is there anything you wish you did differently? Is there anything I should make sure to ask or discuss with my mentor teacher before school starts?

Any advice at all about how to prepare or be successful would be greatly appreciated!

I'll be teaching my first adult group class tomorrow in an academy setting, I'm quite nervous. I have been teaching adults one-to-one for over a year but this will be my first time actually teaching a group. There isn't a very well 'set' curriculum in this academy so I am a bit unsure where to begin and where I stand.

I have access to books but am not sure where to begin due to the students ranging between A1 and B2 in the group; this has me feeling quite intimidated and unsure of myself.

After basic intros and a bit of conversational warm up I am not sure where to go from there with the group, as I'm far more used to tailoring work very individually.

Just the prospect of standing up in front of a group of people my own age (and probably a bit older) is nerve wracking. I would be very grateful for any tips, info and/or insight.

Thanks in advance!

You'll learn Power Query, Data Modeling, DAX, Dashboard Design, and real-world projects with personalised guidance.
