Middle school math teacher in suburban Chicago. Central Michigan University grad.
I really thought that she did such a great job explaining her concerns. I hope that her son isn’t impacted by what is going on in DC.

Come up with a naming convention and use it to label every digital file and piece of paper. (C2.1-4 means course 2, ch 1, lesson 4.) This is really helpful for me b/c I teach multiple preps.
In the classroom: Have a labeled places for items students use. (A HW turn in bin, a cup for pencils, etc.)

I didn’t learn it this way either in school but it is the way we teach it at my middle school. Some of my first generation students from European countries have said that their parents learned it this way when they were in school in their home countries. It is a good method!

Although it is scary, I think one of the best things you can do is be on your own teaching (& handling discipline) during student teaching. Then you have your cooperating teacher there to debrief. Also: Find your support network—in person or online. We all need help at times!
