248. What if You Had $1,000 for Your New Classroom? Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

What would you do if you were given $1,000 to spend on your classroom? 🤯 I'm sure your mind is filled with ideas of everything you want in your classroom to help it run more smoothly, engage students, and create a fun space. During our new teacher giveaway earlier this year, I was so excited to give $1,000 to an amazing new teacher, Leia Hunt, so she could check off some things on her wishlist!

Leia has overcome so much as a childhood cancer survivor and now she is giving back by raising money for children and their families in their fight against cancer. She has the biggest heart inside and outside of the classroom and has such a passion for teaching and positively impacting her students. Leia joins me on the podcast to share how she plans to spend the $1,000 in her new classroom.

247. New Teacher Spotlight Series Part Five: Beth Bowe Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

The path to your first job as a teacher may not go how you expect it to and that is absolutely okay! Sometimes the unexpected and nontraditional paths lead to an amazing opportunity. That's how my guest today, Beth Bowe, ended up in her position where she is happier than she ever thought she could be.

Beth Bowe started out subbing and quickly realized that she was meant to be a teacher. She went back and got her alternative certification before interviewing for a fourth grade position that she didn't get. When the resource teacher retired two months into the school year, Beth took over her position and was able to utilize the R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy resources and information to thrive in her new special education position!

246. New Teacher Spotlight Series Part Four: Kelsey Moody May 31, 2023

Show notes

There is something so comforting about hearing another teacher share about their struggles, what they've gone through, and how they worked through the challenges they've faced. It helps us feel less alone when we're navigating the confusion and pressure that comes along with being a beginning teacher.

That's why I am so grateful to have Kelsey Moody join me today to share about how she had imposter syndrome the whole time she was a long term sub, plus what else she struggled with in her long term sub position and student teaching. Kelsey is talking about why she hesitated enrolling in the R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy and what finally nudged her to make the investment.

244. New Teacher Spotlight Series Part Two: Rebecca Stafford May 17, 2023

Show notes

You've spent four years at college in a teacher prep program but you still aren't feeling prepared to handle all the non-academic tasks that come along with having your own classroom. You're absolutely not alone! There is so much that goes into setting up a classroom, running a classroom, and effectively teaching your students, that there's no way it can all be covered in four years. And unfortunately, the practical information about running a classroom alway seems to be what is left out.

Today I'm joined by one of my R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy students, Rebecca Stafford. Becca shares how joining the Academy set her up for success as she stepped into the role of managing her own classroom.

242. Social Media Best Practices for New Teachers May 03, 2023

Show notes

One unexpected but real change that comes with moving into a classroom teacher role is the importance of being professional on social media. Up until now, you likely haven't had to be too concerned with your social media presence. But as teachers, we must be proactive and aware of what we post online. That's why I'm sharing best practices for social media as an elementary teacher, and creative ways to use social media to connect with families.

240. What If I'm Not Cut Out for Teaching? Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Has the overwhelm and struggle of the last few months left you wondering if you are actually cut out for teaching? If you're feeling defeated, frustrated, or discouraged with having your own classroom, you are not alone. Unfortunately, many new teachers (including me!) have felt this way when they realize that there is very little support for new teachers at their school. I'm sharing what you can do today if you're looking for support with setting up and organizing your classroom and/or challenging student behaviors.

239. Restorative Circles in Your Classroom: How to Get Started Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Improving and preventing challenging behaviors starts with creating a safe and consistent, caring space for all students. As much as we love fun seasonal classroom management strategies and a good classroom management hack, they won't be successful unless there is already a foundation of respect and consistency. A great way to establish a safe and consistent classroom is to implement restorative circles. I'm sharing the key things you need to know in order to get started with restorative circles in your classroom.
