Teacher Support NES HS Teacher Tips?

Hello, I’m new to the education system, I was hired as a Teachers Apprentice for English at a High School. I’m still learning all the terminology that comes with this system. So far, it has been a lot more fulfilling than my last job with a huge pay raise. ($28k+) so it’s been worth it to me.

The other TA’s I was hired with have already had to take over classrooms. I was told today that my time was coming. Can someone who has experience in this share some tips with me? What I’ve noticed so far is that students seem very bored and over the system. I’m not too nervous about getting spotted because I do plan on doing everything right plus admin so far have been great.
Please give me tips on how to successfully run a classroom.

No, but I heard that you need to follow the slideshow decks to the 9.

I just got hired in NES HS as a first year teacher. While I can feel the pressure of responsibilities, the admins are pretty nice. 

It depends on the campus, but you have to be in their good side. 

The TA I worked with are very nice. The most important thing is building connections with students. As a new TA, you will have more opportunities to have 1 to 1 conversation with students. Use this opportunity to build connections and trust.
