New teachers coming into the profession often struggle inknowing 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, andAbilities. We also discuss how administrators should know the DNA of theirstaff.   

Developing positive relationships with studentslets students know that teachers care about them as individuals and helps teachers to design lessons that speak to student interests and aptitudes.
