PD by the Pool is a private podcast designed specifically for new kindergarten teachers who want to feel prepared, confident, and ready before the school year starts. With short, easy-to-listen-to lessons you can play anytime, anywhere, this training walks you through everything you actually need to know—from setting up your classroom and teaching routines to planning academics and supporting behavior. It’s real advice from a current kindergarten teacher, designed to help you stop second-guessing and walk into your classroom with a clear plan.
🎯 Add On a Live Kinder Coaching Week
Live Kinder Coaching Week is a step-by-step coaching experience that shows you exactly what to do during your first week of kindergarten. Through live sessions (with recordings included), you’ll learn what to teach each day, how to build routines and classroom community from the start, and how to create a calm, structured environment for your students. Instead of guessing or piecing things together, you’ll walk away with a clear, doable plan so you can start your year feeling confident and in control.
Hi! I’m Zeba McGibbon!
I’m a current kindergarten teacher in Massachusetts and I help kindergarten teachers thrive from arrival to dismissal. I offer tips and tricks through my podcast, blog, and weekly emails. I also share a ton of resources here on my website and through Teachers Pay Teachers! If you need it… I’ve probably got it!
You know you can trust what I have to say because I am still in the classroom trying out these strategies day after day. I have figured out strategies and routines to work smarter, not harder, when it comes to teaching kindergarten. Now I get to share those ideas with you! Think of me as your virtual teammate who you can always turn to with questions or for advice!
