EPISODE 36 I am thrilled for you to listen to today’s episode because it’s geared towards first year teachers, but also a great reminder for veterans. You’ll be hearing from my guest speaker, Dr. Lori Friesen, who has made it her life’s work to support new teachers. I love her mission because I could totally relate to that feeling of knowing my college education was spectacular and yet when I walked into the classroom those first few years, I could have used her help!   Lori really touches upon all the different parts of teaching that may not be addressed during college. One point I wanted to focus on was classroom management. No matter how great your supervisor was during your student teaching, it’s a whole new situation when you are given your roster and students arrive on that first day of school. Once you listen to these tips you’ll definitely feel more prepared for the kids that walk through your door!   In this episode we discuss: -Reasons why teachers feel unprepared during those first few years of teaching -4 common mistakes new (and veteran) teachers make when it comes to classroom management -Tips for creating classroom systems that work -How to keep classroom management fun   Download the FREE Ultimate Classroom Management Checklist: https://www.drlorifriesen.com/ultimate-classroom-management-checklist   Connect with Dr. Lori: -Beginning Teacher Talk Facebook Group -Instagram: @beginningteachertalk -Drlorifriesen.com -Beginning Teacher Talk Podcast    More Resources: -Come join us in my NEW Facebook group, Upper Elementary Reading Teachers -For full show notes and more resources, head to stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode36.    Connect with me: -Join my newsletter -My TPT store -stellarteachercompany.com -Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany -Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company
