Are you a beginning teacher getting ready for your very first year of teaching? If so, you’re going to love today’s episode because I am talking to Kelsey Moody, who is also preparing for the upcoming school year. Kelsey is from West Virginia, and will be teaching fourth grade this fall. She is also a student in my R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy. She has been going through the program with us for the past two months, so you're going to get to hear from a beginning teacher who's literally getting ready for the school year in real time with the help of the academy.  If you've been on the fence about joining the Academy, or if you're trying to decide if this is something that you might want to invest in, Kelsey might be able to shed some light and give you some insight into how it's been helpful for her. Then you can make a decision about whether or not this is something that would be helpful for you as well.
