There comes a time in every teacher’s life when you make the decision to leave the classroom. Many leave after years of a fulfilling career for the greener pastures of retirement. Some leave to raise families and may return at a later date. And there are some that decide teaching isn’t for them and leave the profession entirely.
Yet there is a growing number of teachers, myself included, that begin to feel constrained by the walls of their classroom. They know they have something to offer on a wider platform to a broader audience. They want to serve more than the students in their classes or the staff in their districts.
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Kayla Durkin of North Dakota Teaching. We spoke about how she continues to serve and support teachers outside of the traditional classroom and into the world of teacher-preneurship.
I also want to invite you to join me for our next informational webinar on Sunday, November 20, 2022. I will host 2 sessions for those that are thinking about joining our network: one at 7:00 pm Eastern Time and the other at 7:00 pm Pacific time. This is a great time to meet me and learn how The New Teacher Success Network can support you!

I’ve always been a people pleaser, and it is in my nature to want to be liked. I don’t know if that is good or bad, but it is who I am.
I think there are a lot of us out there in education. The teachers that want to be liked by students, parents, administrators, and colleagues. Sometimes this can be contrary to what the job entails such as student and parent relationships. It’s just not possible to be liked by everyone and be seen as the leader of your class.
And sometimes you just have to deal with those that are not so nice themselves. Quite honestly, it can be a blow to your confidence and self-worth.
So today we will talk about how to deal with challenging administrators, aloof colleagues, and some just plain mean girls (or boys).

By this time in the year, you are becoming very familiar with your students strengths and weaknesses, particularly when it comes to reading. And you probably have a number of students where reading aloud is difficult, if not painful.
Reading fluency is actually a product of strong decoding and strong language comprehension. It can tell us a great deal about our students' ability to process advanced phonics patterns through word attack and their ability to read for meaning and comprehend text.
As a new teacher it’s vital that you understand the role that oral reading fluency plays in the development of reading and what you can do to support your students as they develop fluency.

I recently spent the weekend with my 3 best girlfriends in the world! Like all good girls weekends, each morning we chat over coffee about all things from world peace to new wrinkle repair products we’ve discovered.
Inevitably we start chatting about retirement planning as we dream of a new footloose and fancy free lifestyle.
One of my girls, who is also a teacher of 20 plus years, mentions that she needs to find units to move up the pay scale. I’m thinking, ‘what?! Now?! You’re three years away from retirement!” What happened? Knowing me, I said it outloud and with more passion than recommended.
But the conversation got me thinking about how new teachers, early in their career, make this same mistake because it’s not talked about enough.
So today, we are looking at the importance of adding units to your transcripts to maximize your earning potential while you are teaching and during retirement.
Here is the YouTube link I mentioned for more information about teacher salary schedules: https://youtu.be/xOqZeHEZeno

I still have nightmares about grading! Where is my red pen? Did my dog eat my grading pile? Why are the parents mad at me?
Teachers do not come out of university systems with a deep knowledge of how to grade, what to grade, when to grade or even why to grade and this can be a problem.
Grading is a huge part of the job and it can be incredibly stressful.
So today we are going to break down 8 tips to keep all that grading under control.

Did you know that children can display symptoms of dyslexia as early as 3 years old? Seriously!
You might wonder how that’s even possible when three year olds mostly don’t know their letters and sounds, much less know how to read.
The short answer is that dyslexia lies with a deficit within an early foundational pre reading skill. And guess what… we know what that skill is… we also know that it can be taught… and when we teach it, students' reading achievement improves!
So listen up primary teachers! Today's episode is for you.
