  • How to Proactively Lesson Plan for The Entire School Year in Less than 1 Hour (This Structure is Simple & Effective)

    How to Proactively Lesson Plan for The Entire School Year in Less than 1 Hour (This Structure is Simple & Effective)
    May 19 2024
    How long does it take you to plan for an entire school year's worth of curriculum? If your answer is longer than 1-hour, then I have a simple, strategic system for you! Using plan books, journals, file folders, and lesson plan templates can be energy vampires and hard to adjust on the fly. What if I told you that you can plan highly engaging, really meaningful classroom content using 2 tools? In this week's episode of This Teacher Life I explain my exact plan on how I have created curriculum timelines and maps for over 7 classes without stressing out. Whether you are a new teacher or veteran teacher, this idea is going to help you proactively plan for every school year in your future!

    May 12 2024
    What is the vibe in your classroom right now? Do you find it is different on various days of the week! If you want to bring TGIF energy and enthusiasm to your classroom everyday, I've got an idea for you. Our students LOVE YouTube and short form video, so why not leverage that for learning? In this week's episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I dive into a lesson I recently did on a Friday for "Friday Fun Times for Families Who Earned It" This activity was easy to implement because I had "Charlie" and his viral video help me out. Want to learn more about this super easy to implement lesson that got kids talking for an entire class period? I've got you covered!

Amazing and inspired

Every morning before the school day I go for a walk with my Aussie. During the walk we listen to Monica. Wow am I inspired and it starts my day on a positive note. So thankful for a podcast that is so relatable.
