I have a special treat for you in today's episode because I am interviewing one of my R.E.A.D.Y for School Academy students, Rebecca Stafford. Becca just finished her first year of teaching first grade and is on the podcast to share her experience with you. You'll hear Rebecca's advice for new teachers, what her biggest takeaways from the Academy were, and more.
