IN SMALL GROUPS:

Each person say one word that best describes their life as a beginning teacher. Make a list of your words.

As a group make a collage that illustrates the words on your list.

Discuss:

• What was helpful to you when you were a beginning teacher?
• What was missing?
• In particular what would have helped you in teaching mathematics?

Report to the whole group about your discussion. Include the collage as part of your report.
