  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!)
Being a new teacher on a team with seasoned teachers can be intimidating, especially when it is your first year. I have found that many teachers who have used the same lessons from year to year welcome the opportunity to add new, exciting activities into their lessons. I would mention an activity you created or would like to try at your next planning meeting and offer copies and/or the lesson plan to with it if any of them would like to try it. This way, they can use it if they would like it and they will likely appreciate that you shared an idea.

Comments: I agree, I was a new teacher with experience teachers and I was very intimidated. But you do have an upper hand in the respect that you know about the "cool things" that involved teachers are doing, and you can share those ideas and resources with the older teachers who may not know about them.

Comments: I started TicTacToe Choice boards in my learning lab at my school. Soon the idea made its way to other subject areas and grade levels. All it took was for me to suggest it to a couple teachers!

Comments: Agree with this; a teacher that is truly a part of the "team," no matter how long they've been around, will not scorn you for sharing your ideas.
