  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 would suggest sharing an idea only after you have already used it successfully in your classroom. Whether it's a lesson plan or an instructional strategy, it's important when presenting ideas that you feel confident in using it and can talk knowledgeably about it. You may want to share your idea with just one colleague with whom you feel most comfortable first. It will be helpful when talking to a group to have someone supporting you and backing up what your saying, especially if you are nervous. Finally, make sure you can justify the activity or strategy by what is in the best interest for students. Even if seasoned teachers feel comfortable with the methods they have been using for years, it's hard deny doing the things that will help students be successful.

Comments: Having a colleague that I could share my ideas with before sharing with the whole team would be a buffer to a full presentation. This solution seems to relate to new teacher nerves.

Comments: Overall I found this solution to be highly effective because it allows the new teacher to gain confidence at a reasonable pace. Additionally, I agree with the importance of finding common ground, such as the common interest in the wellbeing of the students, among the other teachers.
