[quote=Anonymous]As previously mentioned give your child's new teacher room to excell. Know that not every lesson will be perfect, but over the school year many lessons will be great.  Remember that the school year is not like a daily or weekly sprint. It's more like a marathon where a child's incremental improvements made over the long school year will result in measurable achievements by the time June arrives.

Rest assured that new teachers although they may lack the experience of more seasoned teachers, they are not new to the classroom.  They have already had practicums, Ed. School, student teaching internships and they have passed the PRAXIS Exam. Also most of us make mistakes from time-to-time at work.  When this occurs we usually do two things.  We correct the situation at hand and secondly over time we try to avoid making the same mistakes twice.  My guess is that new teachers have the same kind of professional learning curve. It is also likely methodology that works for one group of students may not be equally effective for another.

Give your child's teacher the benefit of the doubt and try to remember the school year is more like a nine-month long marathon rather than a daily or weekly sprint.[/quote]
