Have a Life Teaching

How Knowing Our Students’ DNA Can Help Us Succeed as Educators (Tom Hierck/Alex Kajitani)


Listen Later

New teachers coming into the profession often struggle in

knowing what to do/learn first. Indeed, as my next guests say, for most new teachers, the goal is simply surviving day to day and to make it into their second yearof teaching.  

Join me and my guests, Tom Hierck and Alex Kajitani – book authors and Solution Tree education consultants – as we discuss their new book – You’rea Teacher Now! What’s Next?  We discussthe importance of forming relationships with both students and colleagues, as the key to survival, and knowing our students’ DNA – Dreams, Needs, and

Abilities. We also discuss how administrators should know the DNA of theirstaff.   

Developing positive relationships with students

lets students know that teachers care about them as individuals and helps teachers to design lessons that speak to student interests and aptitudes.
