Upcoming Podcasts are slated for "Improvement!"

We’ve just recorded our second podcast for new special education teachers, and it’s not too early to make some promises about future editions.

1. They will be smoother—fewer “uh’s�, fewer awkward pauses, more succinct sentences. More rehearsal and more liberal use of our editing capabilities.
2. A tighter schedule—when we say this is a 30-minute podcast, it will be a 30 minute podcast and not a 45 minute podcast.
3. More humor—Dr. Morgan is actually a pretty funny guy. Hopefully, this will come through more in future editions.
4. More “stuff you can use� in the classroom. And a promise that all the stuff you can use that you hear about or read about on our podcast and website will be strategies and techniques that have a strong evidence-based foundation in the research and practice literature.

In short, if you listen to each new podcast every week, you will take away something that will make the huge task of being a new teacher a bit easier. And, if you’re not a new teacher, listening to this podcast will make the huge task of being an experienced teacher a bit easier for you as well.

Check out the New Teacher website at www.updc.org for more information and resources discussed on today’s edition. Don’t forget that the first five emails received will receive a copy of Rick Smith’s Conscious Classroom Management book. Our email address is [e-mail].

There will be no new podcast edition this week (November 7). We will be out of town. Tune in next Wednesday, November 16, for the next edition of the New Teacher Podcast.
