We all need a sense of belonging. And when new teachers come in, they come with this innate human need to belong to a community. So how do you, as a school leader, facilitate this?

 

In this episode, I share tips on how you can create a culture of belonging at your school. Remember, just because your new teachers are on the payroll, and they have a spot in the teacher's room, doesn't mean they belong. They are still trying to fit in. Connecting them with people who've walked this path before will create a culture that will look dramatically different. Because creating a culture of belonging is powerful. This all begins with mentoring your veteran staff.

 

In a nutshell, I talk about:

 

• How to design an environment where both veteran and new teachers are part of leveling up and raising the bar of excellence within the organization.
• The 4 common struggles that new staff have.
• Strategies on how your veteran staff can model and create a community for new staff.

 

… and so much more!
