New teachers need to locate someone whose style they respect and who will guide them through the pitfalls of the first few years. 3. Thou Shalt Keep Up Appearances What is appropriate dress for a teacher? Successful educators understand that their appearance will create the first impression that students, colleagues, administrators, and parents will make of them. 4.

Thou Shalt Pay Attention to the Details Before school begins, teachers need to establish a classroom management plan which includes a system for documenting discipline problems. 8. Thou Shalt Pick and Choose Your Battles A professional knows the difference between a petty annoyance and a roadblock. Successful teachers learn to diffuse a negative situation before it gets out of control. 9. Thou Shalt Grow in Your Profession As with any profession, teachers must stay aware of new advances in education and resist the temptation to teach the same curriculum in the same style year after year. 10. Thou Shalt Be Thyself Master teachers work as productive members of their teams, but they are careful to protect those special qualities that they bring to the profession as unique individuals.
