68. How I Wrote a Book as a Teacher with No Publishing Experience (Walk With Me Series)

How do you write a book as a teacher? What do you need to do to become an author? A little more than ten years ago, I was asking myself these questions and desperately trying to find the answers. I felt pulled to put a children's book into the world, and then a book for teachers. If you are a teacher who has ever wanted more than just teaching in the traditional classroom to be a part of your legacy, you don't want to miss this episode. Learn how I got into writing books when I knew absolutely nothing about publishing and why putting a book into the world was important in my journey as an educator.  FAN MAIL: Have a question or idea for a future episode on teacher burnout or classroom management?

66. Why School Leadership Matters More Than You Think (Walk With Me Series)

What do you think of when you hear "school leadership?" Being an effective school leader goes beyond test scores and the management of behavior and staff. Although those are important elements, how you impact those around you in your words and actions accounts for the most important parts of school leadership - and you don't have to be an administrator to have an impact. In this brief summer series episode, I share the leadership interaction that impacted my teaching career the most and how you can influence through leadership without leaving the classroom.

65. My First Years of Teaching with an Anxiety Disorder (Walk With Me Series)

My first two years of teaching were rough. While I was a great student in college, navigating being a new teacher and a young adult with an anxiety disorder left me in turmoil and wondering if I was meant to be a teacher. I look back on this time in my life and wish I had someone I could have confided in who would have told me I could turn things around. If you are a new teacher wondering if things will get better personally and professionally, this episode is for you. Too often, we discount young adults who are just starting out instead of giving them the support, space, and guidance to become who they are meant to be. You can learn more about my experience with panic attacks and beginning my teaching career in this post and podcast episode.  [https://www.erinsponaugle.com/post/teacher-anxiety-help] FAN MAIL: Have a question or idea for a future episode on teacher burnout or classroom management?
