SharpTeaching will work with a small number of teachers over the next few months to iron out issues around uploading and confidentiality. The initial intention for content development is to ask teachers to talk about, advise or explain something useful about their life as a beginning teacher. Good, bad, crazy or otherwise we want to build a library of thought around the pleasure and pain of beginning teaching.

If you want to get involved or be one of these teachers then please do the following:
  • Join SharpTeaching to open your free online video account
  • Upload a video of you talking about one of the following topics: (no longer than 5 minutes)
    a. My worst day as a beginning teacher
    b. My first day as a beginning teacher
    c. My best day
    d. The advice that helped me the most
    e. The advice that didn't work for me
    f. Something else
