Just starting at a new school, it is a very small school and most of the teachers are parents to students. I find it difficult to bond with them because they all have known each other for quite a long time and are raising their kids together. I am still very young only 23 and there is no one my age here. During lunch I typically stay in my room because I truly have anxiety to come down the break room and try to talk to them. I just need some ideas on how to find a common bond and how to feel less alone. Everyone talks about their teacher bestie and I just want to make one. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am in the same boat as you because I will also be a new teacher, and I am a little nervous about connecting with the other teachers. I would suggest going to the lunch area and trying to speak to the other teachers about tips and different things they do in their classroom to help build a connection. Its always hard for us to come out of our shells but baby steps will help with the anxiety we have all been there.
