What are the secrets to a successful first year as a teacher?
Alisha from Rainbow Sky Creations joins us on the podcast this week to give us 5 of her best tips. 
 
 In short, here are her 5 tips: 

 
 1. Get organised – know where everything in your classroom will be stored. Worksheets. Resources. Make a place for everything. 
 
 2. Routine & expectations. Practice these and remind your students again and again. 

3. Find time in your week to plan the following week. Where am I taking my students? 

4. Record assessment data from day 1! Find a system that works for you.
 
 5. Find a mentor. This could be someone in your school, or a teacher from another school.

 
 Alisha & Ashleigh started Rainbow Sky Creations about 5 years ago when they wanted to make some resources to help beginner teachers.
 
 They now have a stack of resources for prac teachers right up to experienced teachers.
