Supporting New Graduate Teachers with Emma Gentle

Teachers are leaving the profession and few people want to join the field; experts are sounding the alarm. We need to look after new graduate teachers who are new to the field. 

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Emma Gentle, Founder of The Grad Guide.  Em has worked in education for 11 years and supported neurodivergent children whilst studying a Bachelor of Education in the Primary years. She spent 7 years as a Primary Classroom Teacher in both upper and lower classrooms. Before having her daughter, she undertook a Relieving Assistant Principal role, specialising in mentoring new teachers, Learning Support and implementing school-wide wellbeing practices.

Em is on a mission to help create a new generation of emotionally intelligent teachers who want to change schools from the inside out. She strongly believes that a child’s social and emotional wellbeing is the highest priority and as such, supports and mentors graduate teachers, helping them to foster a classroom culture that promotes well-being and cultivates connection and understanding above anything else.

Em and I discuss: 

• The Grad Guide and her associated Mentorship Program 
• Common stresses impacting teachers who are new in the field
• Crucial mindset tips for new graduate teachers 
• Notable holes in teaching degrees and teaching training when preparing graduates for 21st century classrooms
• And much more!

Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!
