Questions

After thinking about my non-negotiables and going through workshop week I am questioning a lot of things. Others on my team don't do morning meeting and I can't imagine not doing it. I'm wondering if there will be time for it in the morning??? I'm also wondering how incorporating responsive classroom strategies into a school that has never used it is going to work. Will my students respond well to it? Other questions I have are: how often is my team going to collaborate once we get into the swing of things? It seems like the other teacher are so curriculum directed where I am more relationship, community building direct so I'm wondering if I will be able to find a good balance. Also, will I be able to deliver instruction at the rigor 5th grade demands? All these questions I'm sure are common when starting at a new school. I have to stay strong to my non negotiables and everything will fall into place.
