Podcasts about first year teacher

What does it look like when someone builds their entire life around a question — not “what can I get?” but “what can I give?” Today’s guest has been quietly answering that for over a decade, and the results speak for themselves: hundreds of young lives redirected, a nonprofit that has become a genuine force in Charlotte, and a reputation so consistent that his colleagues simply call him Superman. Jimmy McQuilkin grew up in Columbia, Maryland, graduated No. 1 in his high school class, and arrived at Wake Forest University with enough drive to talk his way onto the men’s basketball team as a non-scholarship walk-on. He earned two varsity letters and, in his own words, “dribbled out the clock a few times.” But it wasn’t the hardwood that changed his life — it was a volunteer experience at a Latino community services organization in Winston-Salem that set everything in motion. After Wake Forest, he joined Teach For America, taught Spanish and coached basketball in Charlotte, and was named First Year Teacher of the Year. In 2013, he co-founded UrbanPromise Charlotte — a Christian-centered nonprofit that now serves 335 young people across three sites, employs 105 people, and runs one of the most inspired youth leadership models anywhere in this city. People who know Jimmy describe him as “the most intentional” and “the most humble” person in the room — which, if you know anything about leadership, tells you everything.

In this episode, I break down the ultimate first-year teacher survival guide to help you navigate your first year of teaching with confidence—without burning out or feeling ready to quit. This isn't about perfection. It's about consistency, clarity, and staying in the profession long enough to thrive.

Every new teacher has felt it: that quiet voice whispering you're not ready, you don't belong here, everyone else has it figured out. That's imposter syndrome, and it's more common in teaching than almost any other profession. In this episode of New Teacher Talk, Dr. Alisa Ross, Interim Dean of University College and Student Success at Southern University and A&M College, offers new educators a compassionate, practical roadmap for naming, understanding, and moving through imposter syndrome. Dr. Ross explains why teaching is uniquely vulnerable to self-doubt: it's highly visible work, with minimal ramp-up time, high expectations, and a social media culture that makes everyone else's classroom look perfect. Rather than dismissing these feelings, Dr. Ross walks listeners through four common manifestations of imposter syndrome in new teachers: over-planning out of fear, comparing yourself to veteran colleagues, taking student behavior personally, and treating mistakes as failures. She offers concrete mindset shifts and strategies for each, from keeping a "wins file" of positive feedback to reframing mistakes as data rather than diagnoses. Most importantly, Dr. Ross delivers a message every new teacher needs to hear: you are not behind, you are beginning. Confidence doesn't come before experience. It comes from it. Whether you're in your first semester or supporting new teachers as a mentor or leader, this episode will leave you with tools, perspective, and a renewed sense of purpose.

In this episode, I break down the ultimate first-year teacher survival guide to help you navigate your first year of teaching with confidence—without burning out or feeling ready to quit.

Whether you're hoping for renewal, facing non-renewal, or considering other options due to poor fit, this episode provides honest guidance for navigating this challenging time. Dr. Anna and Dr. Beth discuss what administrators actually look for in renewal decisions, how to demonstrate growth and professionalism, and actionable steps to take regardless of your situation—including strategic job searching while maintaining professionalism in your current role. If you're checking your mailbox obsessively or lying awake wondering about next year, this episode will help you focus your energy productively and remember that your worth as an educator isn't determined by a single contract decision.

You first met first-year teacher, Mr. Kyle Feather, back in Episode 120 when we got a chance to talk to him on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! You heard from him again in Episode 132, after the first concert. In Episode 152, right after spring break, we talked about all the things he is feeling confident with and the things he is still learning. This time, our final installment, we hear from Mr. Feather as he has made it to summer and reflects on the first year as a whole. We're calling it “Sharpening the saw - Growing abilities in the off-season/Reflection upon the year/Planning for the following year.” We are super thankful for Kyle for sharing this year with us and we hope you listened to remember your first year, to learn for your first year, or to be inspired because…we have the coolest job, y'all! Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/J6dlKnFiWTc The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.
