What can you do when you have too much on your plate, work is stressing you out, or your overall job satisfaction is low? Maybe the planning template for your math lessons is WAY too long or the requirements for student work analysis feels like busy work. Beyond complaining to a friend or fellow educator (which may help you feel better in the short term, but doesn’t *actually* change your reality), how can you take action to create a situation that is manageable? In this episode of The Mindful Math Podcast, Marissa Geist shares how ‘managing up’ can open the lines of communication, help you reset expectations with your boss, and own your own destiny at work. Whether you report to an instructional coach, assistant principal or principal, or superintendent, this skill will help you advocate for what you need in order to achieve greater work-life balance.
