Teachers are leaving the profession and few people want to join the field; experts are sounding the alarm. We need to look after new graduate teachers who are new to the field. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Emma Gentle, Founder of The Grad Guide.  Em has worked in education for 11 years and supported neurodivergent children whilst studying a Bachelor of Education in the Primary years. She spent 7 years as a Primary Classroom Teacher in both upper and lower classrooms. Before having her daughter, she undertook a Relieving Assistant Principal role, specialising in mentoring new teachers, Learning Support and implementing school-wide wellbeing practices.Em is on a mission to help create a new generation of emotionally intelligent teachers who want to change schools from the inside out. She strongly believes that a child’s social and emotional wellbeing is the highest priority and as such, supports and mentors graduate teachers, helping them to foster a classroom culture that promotes well-being and cultivates connection and understanding above anything else.Em and I discuss: The Grad Guide and her associated Mentorship Program Common stresses impacting teachers who are new in the fieldCrucial mindset tips for new graduate teachers Notable holes in teaching degrees and teaching training when preparing graduates for 21st century classroomsAnd much more!Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!Listen here:Apple - https://apple.co/3OAl10CSpotify - https://spoti.fi/3PyuxmgAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3z9fmcbInstagram: thegradguide_ Website: http://thegradguide.com.auEmail: [email protected]
