As a teacher of many years, I have had the privilege of growing in my own craft of teaching and mentoring new teachers. That has been a joyful journey for me. I would like to share some of the strategies that I have for maintaining sanity, tracking marks, attendance, whether something was handed in... many shortcuts and helpful hints for staying on top of things. This session will include some slides of info and samples of what I'm talking about. I would like this to be a collegial session where the participants ask questions, share what works for them or their questions about how to organize and survive, maybe even thrive your first years of teaching.
