Summary:

Every teacher in the world has had to rethink their teaching practices and find new ways to do things as we navigated school during a pandemic. And we all have zero idea just how our upcoming school year will look!

We are all rethinking what our classrooms and year ahead will look like, and I want to help make that process feel more manageable. In this episode, I want to focus on how we can quell that frustration that comes with wanting to plan but having no clue what exactly you are planning for!

Key Points:

• Even when you don't know the specifics of what type of classroom or school setting you'll be in come fall, you can still start brainstorming ideas so you have a clear road map when the specifics are in place.
• Start by narrowing down your educational priorities - click here for the free planning guide to help you focus on the pillars of your teaching philosophy.
• Next, envision how your priorities might be met in a variety of settings, as drastically different from one another as possible. This will help you stretch your creativity and make it easier to keep your foundations at the core of every lesson and activity you plan later.
• Come join the community and jump in the conversation over in the Facebook group. I'd love to hear what you're focusing on and how you've brainstormed different ways to implement your core teaching values!
• Join me in the next episode as I model this process for my own classroom.
