5 Simple & Strategic Ways to Determine if You are Using Worksh*ts or Worksheets In Your Classroom


Listen Later

Let’s be real teachers—there’s a huge difference between a worksheet and a “worksh*t”.

One of those is about authentic learning, amazing feedback, and active engagement.

The other is about busy work, creating frustration, and a time vampire.

The good news is… worksheets CAN be an amazing thing IF we use them correctly.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the clutter and breaking down five simple yet strategic ways to evaluate the paper (or digital!) tasks you’re handing out.

Whether you teach elementary or high school, you’ll walk away with practical tips, reflective questions, and a fresh lens for designing or choosing activities that actually move the learning forward.

Spoiler alert: the information in this episode will actually save you SO much teacher time too!
