Episode 2: Office Politics

Calling All Teachers!

We are a podcast for teachers by teachers, and we want to hear from you! Send us a voice recording of your first year teaching experience, and we might just share it on the pod. Kristen in Columbus shares hers here!

Episode 5: First Day

Episode 5 is going to get you ready for your best day ever–THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Your first First Day is not what you think it will be. We try to help you plan for something you haven’t seen yet. You’re going to fly through your first day, no problem. (Well, maybe some problems. but you’ll know what to do to deal with them. Then you’ll fly.)

Episode 4: Self Care

People in helping professions sometimes have the urge to help everyone. . . except themselves. It sounds counterintuitive but to be a good teacher you’re going to have to be a little selfish.

Episode 1: First Year

We've got news for you: you can survive your first year of teaching.

Episode 2: Office Politics

Episode 2 is about office politics. One of the scariest things about your first teaching job is that sometimes it's the first "real" job you've ever had. You've probably had a job before but a real job. Forgetting to put onions on the quarter pounder at your job is one thing but forgetting to turn in your grades at your real job is something different. Your teaching job is more important to you so messing up can feel more embarrassing. And suddenly all the social interactions you have with co-workers might feel more awkward.
