Our last few shows have been dedicated to interviews, so we decided to knock out some of the listener email that's been piling up in the interim. Today we hit some of the basics of Teaching 101, like how to write lesson plans. Join us as we broadcast from Glen's sprawling estate (specifically his living room). Here, I'll even pull up an extra chair for you.

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? Glen is a recruiter for his school district, and he discusses interviewing strategies that will make you stand out above the throngs of other candidates and land a job. One listener’s private school is about to be audited by the state, and she needs to know how she can prove her instruction aligns with state standards. We’ll show that the terms “audit” and “panic attack” need not be synonymous.
