Welcome to Year One
You never forget your first year of teaching. From setting up a classroom to striking a work-life balance, year one of any teacher’s career can be a roller coaster.
At a time when many teachers are choosing to leave the profession, Year One follows a newly minted teacher, Jenna, as she navigates the ups and downs of her first year in the classroom.
Listen to Year One on Apple,Spotify, or anywhere you prefer to get podcasts.
Teaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every child learns differently, and some students require special accommodations to get the time and attention they need.
As Jenna ensures every child in her classroom receives the attention they deserve, she reflects on the complexities of supporting diverse learning needs.
Whether it's extra time on tests, small group settings, or personalized learning tools, you’ll witness the day-to-day realities and responsibilities that come with making education accessible to all.
Stay tuned for our next episode, "Sick Days," premiering December 3!
I've wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, and I can't believe I finally have my own third grade classroom now! I wanted to share my story to document not only the rewarding moments of my first year in the classroom, but also the challenges. Through Year One, I hope to showcase the realities of being a teacher beyond colorful classroom decor and perfectly curated lesson plans.
Join me as I navigate year one in the classroom, and follow me on social media to share your thoughts!
