Are You Afraid to Enter Your Classroom?
By:Kristiana Jones

Teaching children and young adults is a noble job - and sometimes it can be a very, very difficult job. Not only do you deal with children who may be struggling to learn - but in some areas, teachers deal with children who have behavioral problems. From kids who have very little structure and discipline at home to those with different social limits, it can often seem like a nightmare to even enter your class room.

Teachers who have been at it a while find classrooms like this very difficult, not to mention those who are just starting. The whole thing can be a discouraging and depressing thing for individuals who are trying to brighten the youth of America's future. It can be unrewarding, difficult and hard. So, what resources are out there for the teacher who wants to make a difference, but is finding it difficult due to the problems that are running rampant in the classroom?

The first thing you should do is probably look over the state curriculum requirements that are set for your topic of teaching. This can often give you a great line to follow, because you'll find out what you need to do in order to have your classroom meet those standards. For instance, some states require that you place more emphasis on teaching children specific things they need to learn in order to pass specific tests. This can take the emphasis off the things the children particularly need to learn, which can be disheartening, but that's just the way it is.

Each school district will require different things from teachers as well. These things may include everything from the information that is posted for students to how your teaching book should be organized. You might enter your data into a computer or you might write it down in a log book. This all depends on where you're at and what you're provided with. Managing a classroom can be difficult at times, but there are resources that can help.

Your job is to seek out those resources that can help you manage your classroom effectively, and ensure that those resource meet specific guidelines set out for you as the teacher. It's a noble and difficult job, and it takes a strong and motivated person to get it done. Good luck.
