Ep 103: Our Favorite F Word In the Classroom

No, no…it’s not the one you’re thinking of! Flexibility is our favorite word when it comes to our teaching lives and instruction because being flexible as a teacher is so liberating. It may seem counterintuitive, but batch planning is actually what afforded us the most freedom in the classroom, and it can do the same for you!

When you think about your school day, week nights, and even weekends during the school year, do you feel a sense of ease and confidence, or does your stomach tighten and your mind fill with anxiety and dread? If you’re nodding your head to the latter, it’s time to make a change so you can experience flexibility and freedom all year long.

In today’s episode, we ask you to consider a few important questions: How do you spend your prep periods? How often do you analyze student data? And how is teaching affecting your personal life?
