The Present Teacher

First Year Teacher Website

Home

Welcome!

My name is Helena, a First Year Teacher Coach! I empower first year and new teachers to thrive inside and out of the classroom.

Take the first step!

Let’s thrive and help our students thrive inside and out of the classroom:

In our own lives.

In order to create a greater impact, we need to take care of ourselves. Being present and engaged with our students means also addressing our own needs.

I can be your guide to creating systems, and getting ahead so you can keep that “teacher sparkle” going, so you can enjoy life outside of work.

Start!

In our students’ lives.

We need to prioritize the wellbeing of our students. Now more than ever, our students need help building relationships, regulating emotions and impelementing problem solving skills.

I’ll show you exactly how to build a routine around promoting the wellness of your students inside your classroom.

Impact!

In our classroom.

In order to make the impact we were destined to make, we need a smoothly ran classroom. That means having a class that runs itself, promotes student learning, positive community, and inclusion.

I can show you how to create a classroom you and your students feel seen, heard, loved, and understood!

Transform!

✨We always think taking care of yourself is this ✨We always think taking care of yourself is this seamless journey where everything goes perfectly the first time.✨⁠
⁠
But the reality is, it's not. It's messy and a lot of trial and error.⁠
⁠
On this week's podcast episode on The Present Teacher Podcast, I interview Brittany Blackwell (@teachingmindbodyandsoul) as she discusses the importance of trying new things to get out of burnout.⁠
⁠
One of those things is getting to know and love things out side of teaching. ⁠
⁠
For a lot of us, we may have lost our identity along the way, and that's okay. What's important now is that we learn to love and know ourselves again.⁠
⁠
That's why I absolutely love this quote from Brittany where she says and I quote:⁠
⁠
"Try it for 2 weeks, it may not do anything. Then again, it might change everything!"⁠
⁠
As she said this I was immediately reminded that life isn't clean. Learning to love yourself isn't perfect. It's messy and not a straight line. It's a path of swirls, patterns, and roundabouts.⁠
⁠
And honestly... thank goodness it is!⁠
⁠
So let me ask you, what are you doing right now that's messy? What hobby or interest are you learning to love? Drop it down in the comments to spark some inspiration.⁠
⁠
Talk to you soon teacher bestie!⁠
⁠
Love,⁠

⁠
These day's I know it's hard to teach your "Teacher Sparkle" going. That's why this week we are talking all about teaching with joy!💕⁠
⁠
Remember when you first started teaching and you got butterflies from standing in front of your class?⁠
⁠
Or that glisten in a child's eyes when something "clicked" for them.⁠
⁠
One of the biggest ways I found to put "joy" back into teaching was to practice gratitude. SO here are 3 things I am grateful for inside my teaching career:⁠
✨Whenever I make a child feel seen, heard, accepted, and validated.⁠
✨When my students have the confidence to love, help, and teach others.⁠
✨When students from around the world reach out to me years later on how they miss my class.⁠
⁠
In this week's podcast episode we talked all about how to incorporate "Joy" back into your life with Emily Person from @teachyourjoy ⁠
