  • Feeling effective and in control of your classroom is much more than planning lessons, having an organized space, and building a relationship with your students. You also need to manage the behind the scenes that helps build success in the classroom. Even though we are a teacher podcast, we understand how all the areas of your life running smoothly can be to you as a teacher.

    In this episode we are unpacking what it means to manage the “behind the scenes” of your life as an educator. We share how you can organize three key areas: Material management, food management and health/wellness. Under each category we give you tangible, “try now,” strategies and discuss what these look like as an educator with kids at home.

  • Back by popular demand, we are doing another Recess Digress episode. In this series we unpack three topics (within the field of education or not) and share our honest thoughts. Picture us as your teacher buddies, standing out during recess and just chatting away!

    In this episode of the Recess Digress we dig deep into understanding the role that AI is playing in education and how we need to be careful with how we are using this technology. We analyze the importance for experts in education but challenge the need for experts in our professional development, and finally discuss the challenges of schools closing down on the use of TeacherPayTeachers products.

  • It’s January and that means a new book review! Every year we have 2 book reviews that we share on the podcast. The first book is done in January and the second in July. For this month’s book review we are sharing our thoughts on the book Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

    In his book Greg discusses the importance of prioritizing what truly matters by focusing on what is essential to your life and work. The book is broken down into 4 parts:

    Part 1: EssencePart 2: ExplorePart 3: EliminatePart 4: Execute

    We discuss the biggest takeaways from each of these four parts along with our overall impression of the book. In the next two episodes you’ll hear a week-in-the-life episode of Michelle and Bridget as they share implementing the strategies from the book into their daily routines.

  • There are so many different twists on “New Year's Resolutions' '... Some people don’t do them at all because they think you should start fresh every day. Some people pick one big goal for the year, some people create mini goals, and some people are just trying to write the correct date at the top of their paper!

    However, one trend that we have consistently loved to implement in the new year is the idea of a word to ground your actions for the year. Think of this as more of a guide. So this year we wanted to not only discuss some goal setting and how we plan on changing things up a bit but also share our individual words with you along with why we chose those words.

    So grab your planner and a cup of coffee and let’s start planning out an AMAZING 2024!

    SPECIAL NOTE:

    Be sure to check out the book Essentialism for this month’s book review! We will be sharing our thoughts on the book in the upcoming episode.
