  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!)
I believe the solutions presented on this page are appropriate and sensitive to the veteran teachers' concerns. I agree with the other solutions; you should ensure the idea is successful before sharing it with your colleagues. Also, as a first-year teacher, be prepared to explain how the idea will benefit the students' learning in the classroom. I understand your feelings as a first-year teacher and believe you should also take an active role in learning from the effective teaching strategies the veteran teachers utilize.
