In the Blog "What I've Learned This Year" Mr. McClung has so many good points for new teachers in this blog. One of the most valuable points to me he made was as teacher we must be learners just like our kids. We have to learn as much as we can about the new information to make our children's lives easier as students. Another good point he had was that if we had a problem with a coworker you need to talk to them. That works in all walks of life. More problems come from not talking the problems out. Something that I think all teachers tend to miss sometimes is to listen to your students. This is so important because our students tend to know what works sometimes. Overall he had a wonderful blog post and some very useful tips for a new teacher. They are wonderful tips and I will most defiantly take them into consideration.

I think you are right about how some teachers don't listen to their students. This is something that is really easy to do because we think our authority makes us to good to talk to our students.
