  Case: New Teacher
I am a first year teacher and I get very nervous sharing my ideas with my colleagues who have been teaching several years. How would you approach this situation. I do not want to "step on anyone's toes" with my new ways of incorporating technology and new techniques into the classroom.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is my first full school year teaching, but I come off seasoned because of my training and my approach to teaching. I've found that my confidence has offended some of my colleagues, but it's important to understand that you are still a teacher regardless of your tenure. Your strategies are just as effective, if not more, as your counterparts--especially if they're research-based! Be confident and share your ideas. You may never know how they could be received until you present your thoughts!
