Welcome to "On the Way to School." I'm your host, Dr. Chris Dennis. In this episode, I discuss the onboarding process for new school staff, emphasizing the importance of feedback and clear communication during the crucial first weeks on campus. I share insights on how issues can emerge from informal communication channels and stress the importance of new hires communicating any concerns with their mentors or supervisors as early as possible. I offer practical tips, such as asking your supervisor how they prefer to receive feedback and sharing how you like to give it. I also encourage being proactive in seeking support. Additionally, I emphasize that school leaders should set clear expectations and model respectful communication to help new teams succeed.
