coaching

It’s almost time to go back to school, and our gift to you is the inspirational Georgia Teacher of the Year, Emily Jennette. A self-described “Energizer Bunny,” Emily is dedicated to teaching the whole child. You’ve got to hear her story about how she involved a local business to help a class of struggling elementary school students. Emily found ways to inspire them to a new outlook on school, and she’ll do the same for you, just in time for the new school year to begin!

Everyone's wondered what their classes will be like before the school year begins. Will discipline be an issue? Will the class have a chemistry what speeds things along, or will every day feel like a struggle? Is there any way to answer any of those nagging questions about your students-to-be before they step foot in your classroom? Our listener email comes from a rookie teacher who is, we'll say, less than thrilled about her new coaching assignment. Isn't your first year of teaching hard enough without having to coach the cheerleaders against your will? Short answer: Yes. Listen to this week's episode for the longer answer.
