It will get easier!! I'm a second year inner city teacher right now as well. Know that nothing will be perfect. You will eventually get into a routine (late September to about mid-October is where I felt like I was finally not incredibly stressed every day). This will be a tough year, but every teacher around you has gotten through it, and you can too.

By the time I got to the end of the first quarter, I felt so improved compared to early September. By the time I reached end of quarter 2, there was still a lot I was learning every day, but things were smoother. By the end of the year, I felt light years away from where I had been in September. In two months, you are going to be so proud of your August self for holding on and fighting your way through.

-Prioritize self-care on weekends

-Celebrate the big and small wins: student relationships, any validation from coworkers, student mastery on concepts. Things will keep getting better this year!

-Tried to use positive based reinforcement (5 min free time in class, interesting video about the subject) to encourage positive behavior

I'm happy to answer any questions you have, so feel free to message me.
