From Student To Teacher: A Podcast for Beginning Educators
An early career educator, Josh, and his mentor and former middle school teacher, Erin, discuss all the questions that came up as Josh began his teaching career. From Student To Teacher is a podcast to help preservice and beginning educators through their first years of teaching. Look for a new podcast every 2-3 weeks, with a topic relevant to that time in the school year. Though our focus is for beginning teachers, we hope all educators will find something new to add to their repertoire. We are here to discuss your questions and ideas too.
