Introducing yourself in the classroom can be a daunting experience, but employing the following tips will ensure your introduction is successful. To give a self introduction, you should firstly be sure to arrive around five minutes before incoming students. Write your name on the board, so your students know how it is spelled, even if the spelling of your name is very straightforward.
Once your new students have found their places and settling down, you should grab their attention - perhaps by clapping your hands and simply making a statement of 'hello'. You should then introduce yourself and explain your role as their new teacher. It is a good idea to highlight here how important you consider mutual respect to be in the classroom, which always sets a class of students off to a positive start. You are then ready to begin the lesson.
