Episode 65: Tales from the First Year Teaching

A teacher's first year in the classroom is often the hardest, and many new educators face a steep learning curve. In this episode, Ledyard teachers Kate Cummings and Nikki Engel share what they learned during their first year teaching with CEA President Kate Dias and Vice President Joslyn DeLancey.

From how starting off year two compares with year one to some of the best and worst advice they've received as new teachers, Cummings, a second-grade teacher at Gales Ferry School, and Engel, a third-grade teacher at Juliet W. Long School, talk about how their teaching journeys have gone so far.
