Description

In this second episode of our two-part series for early career educators, long-time teacher and author, Berit Gordon, explores practical, compassionate strategies that center both teacher growth and administrator sustainability.

Berit, author of The New Teacher Handbook, highlights how bite-sized professional development and human-centered leadership can shift the culture for new educators and the students they serve. She explains how her book serves as a recipe guide for creating supportive, manageable routines, and why giving yourself and others permission to be good enough is sometimes the most powerful leadership move of all.

If you're invested in teacher retention, this episode is for you. Berit is in conversation with her Heinemann editor, Zoë Ryder White, who opens the conversation.
