  #215: Building the Foundation for a Successful School Year

  Aug 31, 20269 min

  If you were building a house, you'd want to build it on a solid foundation. So why are new teachers expected to build their teaching careers on a rocky foundation?Part of new teachers building a solid foundation requires them to be provided with mentorship and in-class support. It's why I wrote my book, From College to Classroom. And it's why I'm launching my course, Built to Last: Classroom Foundations for Teachers. Building a solid foundation doesn’t come from learning as you go, although you could try that. It comes from investing in your knowledge and learning from those who have done this before.
