We all need a sense of belonging. 

And when new teachers come in, they come with this innate human need to belong to a community. 

So how do you, as a school leader, facilitate this?

In this podcast episode, I share tips on how you can create a culture of belonging at your school. 

Remember, just because your new teachers are on the payroll, and they have a spot in the teacher’s room, doesn’t mean they belong.

They are still trying to fit in.

Connecting them with people who’ve walked this path before will create a culture that will look dramatically different.

Because creating a culture of belonging is powerful.

This all begins with mentoring your veteran staff.

In a nutshell, I talk about:

• How to design an environment where both veteran and new teachers are part of leveling up and raising the bar of excellence within the organization.
• The 4 common struggles that new staff have.
• Strategies on how your veteran staff can model and create a community for new staff.

… and so much more!
