In this podcast episode, Becca engages in a conversation with Dr. Melissa Bonds, a highly experienced education leader, Director of a doctoral program and consultant. Melissa discusses various aspects of supporting new teachers and concrete tips and strategies to meet differing need throughout the school year. She starts by acknowledging the wide ranging definition of a "new teacher." She emphasizes the need to treat each new teacher as an individual with unique strengths and experiences, rather than making assumptions based on their background.
The conversation delves into the concept of the destructive "shoulds" in teacher leadership, where Melissa highlights the common misconception that new teachers should already possess certain skills or knowledge. She advocates for a more personalized approach, recognizing each new teacher's specific needs and providing tailored support (and tells you how). This podcast episode provides valuable insights into the complexities of supporting new teachers and offers actionable strategies for improving teacher retention and success in the education field.
