| 18 Jan 2023 | How to Support Your Speech & Language Students with Hallie Sherman | 00:32:56 | |
When we see a student struggling, we often feel like it’s our fault and that we need to have all the answers, but I want to encourage you to lean on the staff at your school to help. When it comes to speech and language, there are so many elements to consider, and your school’s SLP has the skill set required to determine if a student needs their services. Our guest today, Hallie Sherman, is here to provide so much great information about speech and language. She’s sharing which skills are associated with speech and language, what to look out for in your students, how you can collaborate with an SLP, what you can do in your classroom to support these students, and so much more.

| 19 Jan 2022 | How to Handle Critical Observation Feedback | 00:24:41 | |
Formal observations are one of the things about teaching that really scares us as new teachers. They can send you right into panic mode, even if you have a really supportive administration.

However, there is a way you can reframe how you view observation feedback that I want to share with you today. It will help you to feel more empowered and encourage you to take the next steps towards becoming the teacher that you’ve always dreamed of being.

| 06 Jul 2022 | How to Know if You’re Ready for the School Year | 00:22:37 | |
If you’re a new teacher, do you feel ready for the upcoming school year? After student teaching, we quickly realize that much of the theory that we learned in college is much more difficult to apply. We start to see the gaps in what we learned in our university classes and how things actually play out inside the classroom. Still, we have a vision in our heads of how we're going to be an amazing teacher just like the amazing teachers we've had before us. But we underestimate, or are entirely unaware, of the careful strategic planning and years of experience that it really took for that to happen. I want to help prepare you for the reality of this learning curve that you’re about to experience as a brand new teacher. Today I’m sharing some things that you’ll want to consider (that go beyond classroom set up) as you go into your first year of teaching.

| 09 Dec 2020 | Fast Finisher Challenges that Are NOT Busywork 093 | 00:32:11 | |
So many fast finisher activities are just designed just to keep kids busy, and I always thought that there must be a better way to use children’s time. I believe that children need more opportunities to flex their creative muscles, to think outside the box, to investigate and explore topics that may not be part of the curriculum, but that light kids up and inspire them to want to do more, be more, and think more creatively. Let's talk about how!

It's hilarious that I can devote an entire podcast episode to pencil management, but here we are! Truthfully, having a system in place for students' pencils is a critical piece of classroom management. If you have students who constantly lose their pencils, get up to the sharpen them at inappropriate times, or even eat them (ew, gross), then this episode is for you. :) Show Notes: https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/pencil-management Join my FREE 8-day challenge: Your First 8 Steps as a New Elementary Teacher When You're Hired Mid-Year (or Want a Do-Over): https://www.drlorifriesen.com/challenge Join our Beginning Teacher Talk Private FB Group now: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/ Check out Lori's TpT store (Beginning Teacher Talk): Connect with Lori on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/ Connect with Lori on Instagram: If the Beginning Teacher Talk podcast is helping you in your teaching and if you're feeling extra loving, I would be so grateful if you would leave a positive review for the show! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beginning-teacher-talk/id1456137677 Xo Lori P.S.

| 29 Jun 2022 | Find Your Tribe & Prepare Ahead for Crazy Back-to-School Busy | 00:28:06 | |
The following sentence just might qualify as the understatement of the century...I think we might have a tendency to underestimate how hard it is to be a teacher when we've never had our own classroom before. The truth is, we just don't realize how demanding this profession is until we're in it. So, with a new school year is approaching, I want to share the importance of finding your tribe and how to prepare for that crazy back-to-school busy.

| 06 Sep 2023 | You're Doing Better Than You Think - Here's Proof | 00:22:17 | |
If you’re a few weeks into the new school year, the harsh realities of teacher responsibilities and a constant overwhelming amount of stress have probably already sunk in. And unfortunately, when that happens, we begin to doubt ourselves which leads to comparing ourselves to more experienced teachers. Likewise, as new teachers, we’re often told that our skills and quality instruction isn’t to the standards of those veteran teachers. However, I’m here to tell you the exact opposite! The findings from a new study in Australia Education Researcher will give you the positivity you’ve been searching for.

| 01 Jan 2020 | Narrative and Opinion Writing with Learning Experiments 044 | 00:35:52 | |
What are "Learning Experiments," you ask? Well, in my classroom, they were systematic and super-fun, small changes that my students and I made to our learning environment to create the conditions for optimal learning. In plain English, that meant doing small things like working in different spaces around the classroom or changing the kinds of lighting we were using in our classroom to see how that impacted students' ability to focus. These changes led to some pretty inspired writing for my students - so much so, that I decided I needed to create a writing unit for you that you can try in your classroom, too!

| 02 Mar 2022 | Natural Consequences: Part Two | 00:28:35 | |
In episode 159, I broke down what natural consequences are and I gave you some specific examples of how this works in your classroom. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I highly recommend that you go back and listen to that first because it is going to give you a foundation to what I’m discussing today! It’s important to be prepared to implement natural consequences, but what do you do if you have a student who continues to be disruptive, despite all your efforts? It might be time for some new strategies. Today I’m going to give you some very specific examples of how you can move from gentle reminders to firm consequences while you're teaching inside your classroom.
