155: Envision with Angela Watson

38 minutes

ANGELA WATSON (formerly Powell) has earned international recognition for her unique contributions to the field of education. A pioneer and trailblazer of modern teacher blogging, she was first known for Ms. Powell’s Management Ideas for Teachers, a website she created in 2003 to share behavior management strategies, teaching techniques, and organizational tips. The site was expanded and renamed TheCornerstoneForTeachers in 2008.

Since then, Angela’s ideas have been featured in thousands of magazine articles, newsletters, and internet resources, and are utilized in teacher preparation and support programs throughout the nation. Having earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist, she currently works as an instructional coach and educational consultant based in Brooklyn, New York.

Angela has 8 years experience as a K-12 instructional coach and 11 years experience in the PreK-3 classroom. As founder of Due Season Press and Educational Services, she has created printable curriculum resources, online courses, 4 books, the Truth for Teachers podcast, and the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club.

Quotables

You have a lot of responsibility, but not a lot of autonomy

Traditional time management advice doesn’t really apply to teaching

Teaching is a complex job

If you do not have enough time, that is not your fault

What teaching looks like now is completely different from what it looked like 5 years ago

Envision a better way

Does the amount of hours worked equate with effectiveness?

It’s not about how long you are working or how hard you are working, but are you working on the right things?

As teachers we are waiting for permission

Mind shifts happen over time

I am not satisfied with the status quo

Small changes add up to big results
