New Teacher Podcast

Two weeks ago I had the privilege of talking to our district’s group of new teachers. District-wide this year we have over 38 new teachers. I am always the last presenter and I am not sure that is a blessing or a curse but I try to just give them advice and build them up to start a new school year. Check out my podcast page to the left for my most current podcast.
Below are links to a couple of the resources I used during this presentation:
