From classroom setup and organization to behavior management and building routines, there are so many things a university program doesn't prepare you for. In today's teacher spotlight, Jenna Barron is sharing her struggles, what she wish she knew going into teaching, and how the R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy changed her perspective and approach to teaching.
