New teacher

This will be my second year in a school tutoring. Though this year I'm spending 50% of it as a co-teacher. Tutoring will be with grades K-3 but I'm not sure of my mentor's room. I'll be getting my initial license this year. Any advice for the following few years? My license will be ECE.

What country are you based in? What's involved in getting a teacher's licence there?
- I'm based on the US. I'm doing a non traditional path, with the program I'm in. I will be primary by the end of the year but I start by just shadowing and finish the coursework.
  
  I got a chance to work with a person going down a similar alternate route last year. She had a degree in journalism and found that she hated it, so she was transitioning to education. I really liked how it was a slower pace than the student teaching boot camp I had to endure.
Every year is different and similar. I've been teaching for 6 years now and I tweak things a little every year. One major thing is that I tend to be a little stricter and have more procedures every year.
