Who Do You Ask When You Don’t Know What to Do?

There’s a moment every new teacher faces—usually sometime in July—when the excitement of landing your first teaching job fades just a little. The school year is coming. The classroom is real. The kids are coming. And suddenly, the questions flood in.

What if I mess up my first lesson?
What do I do if a student refuses to listen?
What do I do with that student who already knows everything—or nothing?
What do I do when I just… don’t know what to do?

If you're nodding along, you're not alone. This feeling is real, and it doesn’t mean you’re unprepared or not cut out for the job. It means you're human—and you're entering one of the most complex, rewarding, and emotionally demanding professions out there.

Why Mentorship Matters

The truth is, no handbook or teacher prep course can prepare you for everything you’ll face in your first year. What makes the difference isn’t having all the answers—it’s knowing who you can turn to for help.

That’s what mentorship is all about.

A strong teacher mentorship program gives you:

• A trusted relationship with someone who’s been there.

• A safe place to ask “silly” questions (spoiler alert: they’re not silly).

• Ongoing emotional support to get through the rough days.

• Practical advice, strategies, and tools that are actually useful in real classrooms.
