Episode Synopsis

Episode Description:  Great experience hanging out and chatting with Jennifer Davis. I teach across the lawn from Jen and I can literally see the great classroom vibe spilling from her classroom. Her students absolutely adore her...and she is only in her second year of teaching! This episode is dedicated to all the CSUB students that ever asked me, "how should I start teaching? What are my options?" Well, friends, rather than listen to my old-self, now you can listen to someone who is a couple of steps ahead of you and is absolutely thriving. 
In this episode we talk about:

Jennifer's path through the Kern Urban Teacher Residency at CSU Bakersfield
How Jennifer creates a family culture in her classroom
Tips for success in your first two years of teaching
The myth of "don't smile until December"
