Back to School




After a 'quiet' summer, the alarm bell announcing that first day of school can be a rude or a happy awakening. Whether you are a new or experienced teacher, heading back to school signals a time of transition: new students, new colleagues, new schedules, new syllabus as well as new official instructions. This new professional scene can make you feel either excited or stressful, or both at the same time.
' Dread it or love it ', we have to go to school and try to make, right from the beginning, a kind of transition from summer to school a little easier.
What is your biggest Back to School hurdle? What solutions work for you?
