In this re-released episode, I'm sharing one of the most powerful practices I started a few years ago—and yes, I still use it today! It's called the S.T.E.P. Forward Protocol, a simple yet transformative 4-step process to help you reflect, reset, and refocus your teaching at any point in the year.

In this episode, I break down each part of the S.T.E.P. process:

  • SStudent Survey (Hear how I use surveys to gather meaningful student feedback)

  • TTeacher Reflection (Why starting with your wins matters more than you think)

  • EExplore Concepts (How to go deeper in the areas where you want to grow)

  • PPlan Ahead (Set one intentional goal—and a trick to make it stick!)

💡 Whether you're wrapping up your year, in the middle of a semester, or planning ahead, this episode will help you reflect with intention and move forward with purpose.
