ISACS Webinar Webinar
After the First Month:
Moving from Survival to Success

with Berit Gordon, Teacher, Consultant, Author

▶ Available On-Demand through December 31, 2025

The honeymoon period has ended, and for many new teachers, reality has set in.

This is the point when enthusiasm can give way to overwhelm—classroom management struggles, routines that won’t stick, and the endless to-do list that leaves them running on empty. Left unchecked, these challenges can lead to frustration, disengagement, and turnover. 

This webinar will equip your staff with research-backed strategies and practical tools to shift from reactive “firefighting” to proactive systems that prevent problems before they start. With ready-to-use templates and personalized approaches, your teachers will walk away with concrete moves they can implement immediately—helping them find quick wins, protect their energy, and stay focused on what matters most: student learning.

Investing in your teachers’ well-being and effectiveness isn’t just about surviving the school year—it’s about building a sustainable foundation for your entire school community. When new teachers feel supported with practical tools and strategies, they stay longer, grow faster, and contribute more fully to student success. 

This webinar is for new teachers in their first three years across all grade levels (early childhood through upper school) & those that support them.
