Taking over a program is never an easy task. But when you follow a legendary teacher, it is even more difficult. It's important to make the program your own, and this episode has great advice on how to do just that. Molly and Tim discuss how previous teachers' pedagogy and teaching style affect how a new teacher is received (5:30), why you need to share your 'why' with your students (10:30), and what to do when you have student pushback and issues with discipline (12:45).
