The New Teacher Hotline: Recent Episodes
New Teacher Hotline
In this episode, we finally dig our way out of the email that accumulated during our summer hiatus. What would you do if a principal asked you to stay beyond your contractually defined hours? How much time have you spent crafting your grading system?
The premiere of our new segment, the Tech Toolbox, presented by Candy Shively and teachersfirst.com
All new teachers face similar challenges, the first of which is to actually find a teaching job. You’ve spent years of your life preparing for your professional career, so how are you supposed to cram all of that into a 15-minute job interview?
In this episode, we talk about squelching ring leaders, kids that encourage bad behavior by modeling it day in and day out. Our listener mail comes from a college student about to start student teaching. She wants to know what it means "not to smile before December."
Ever wondered how a principal's opinion of you changes when you send kids to the office? Are you worried that, by referring students, you're announcing to the entire school "I can't control my class"? Wonder and worry no more.
In our premiere episode, the hosts introduce themselves and discuss the format of the show. Each show begins with a Warm-Up, a topic that’s on our minds. This week’s Warm-Up is an overview of classroom management. The second half of the show is dedicated to answering listener email.
