This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 34 of the Cult of Pedagogy podcast.

In this episode, I'm going to help you survive starting a teaching job in the middle of the school year.

A little over a year ago, I wrote a post called the Ultimate Guide to Starting a Teaching Job, Midyear.

As someone whose career also started in the middle of a school year, I wanted to help those

who found themselves in the same position. I thought it would be helpful to record that same

information in a podcast so teachers can listen on the go. If you're not currently starting a new

job yourself, you will still find this information can help you welcome another teacher who is,

because a lot of us have new teachers in our schools who are just getting started.

This episode will be loaded up with advice, information, and resources. So once you've listened to it,

go over to the blog post itself by going to Cult of Pedagogy.com slash pod and clicking episode 34.

That'll take you right to the original post where you can find everything I've mentioned here in writing.

Two things I'd like to mention before I get started. The first is to thank you if you have left an iTunes review for the show.

I am currently at 93 reviews, which is just fantastic, because every single one of those reviews helps to

a review and you are enjoying the podcast, I would be eternally grateful if you would go over to iTunes

and just leave a rating and a review or even just a rating if you're really short on time.

Secondly, I wanted to let you know about another way that you can access my other content.

This podcast is just a small part of what I do. My website Cult of Pedagogy is just

chock full of articles and book reviews and videos and other resources to help you improve your teaching.

I post something new every week and one of the best ways to stay on top of new posts and new resources

to subscribe to my mailing list. I send out one quick email per week that links you to my latest post

and usually one other link to some other resource from my archives or some announcement for maybe
