When we hop on our Monthly Q&A Calls with Academy Members or Mentorship Calls with District Math Leaders, one of the largest barriers to transforming mathematics pedagogy and educator content knowledge is time. With a seemingly never ending list of mandatory “to do’s” and a jam packed list of mathematics standards to uncover, it shouldn’t be a surprise.

In today’s episode, we’ll be digging into how you can overcome the challenges that time scarcity creates before, during and after your math lessons each day.

You’ll learn: 

• How to set goals that create happiness for you; 
• How you can set goals and priorities so that you create freedom in your teaching day; 
• How to analyze your day plans so you can achieve your goals. 
• How to use the 10-10-10 rule to avoid post decision blues.
