In this episode, Berit Gordon dives into the real challenges facing new teachers. A longtime educator in New York City public schools, and author of The New Teacher Handbook: 110 Strategies to Problem-Solve the Hard Parts of Teaching, Berit talks about the daily pressures, emotional strain and hurdles that often push passionate educators to the brink. But she doesn't just name the problem, she offers solutions.

You'll hear strategies for managing behavior, building routines, and protecting your energy when the system feels stacked against you. It's honest, it's hopeful, and it's exactly the kind of conversation new teachers and those who support them need right now. Berit is joined by her editor at Heinemann, Zoe Ryder White, and begins by reflecting on how the teaching profession has changed.
