  • #142: Navigating Stress + Overwhelm

    If you're struggling to navigate stress and overwhelm during these first weeks of school, you've come to the right place! In today's podcast episode, I am pulling the curtain back and giving you a little taste into what it's like to be in my world.

    Transform Your Teaching was a free live event for teachers as they prepared for the first weeks of school. On the very first day, we talked about how teachers can navigate the stress and overwhelm during busy seasons. You get to listen to that live recording today!

  • #141: The Secret to Smooth Transitions

    Transitions can make or break a classroom routine. Transitioning from one activity to the next can pose as a stressful and overwhelming time in the classroom. The students don't know what to do or what's expected and you're also trying to figure it out. In this episode, I give you the one key ingredient that many new teachers tend to miss when teaching transitions.

  • #140: Setting Up Routines + Procedures in the Classroom

    September's theme is going to be "navigating the first weeks of school." In this series, we're going to be discussing various topics that relate to making sure those first weeks of school set you up for success inside your classroom. This is a time that can be extremely challenging to do on your own, especially if you don't have the mentorship or support. Today's episode is focused on setting up routines and procedures from the get-go. Here's how the episode will flow:

    • why routines and procedures are so important to set up from the start rather than waiting for the students to adjust
    • what routines and procedures you should be implement in those first weeks
    • what you can do to prepare those routines and procedures for the start of the school year

    Happy Listening!!

  • #134: Radically Shift the Way You Approach Teaching

    I want to help you to radically shift the way you’re approaching teaching. It took me 5 years to shift the way I approached teaching and make room to love life outside of the classroom. There are shifts I made when I decided it was time to move from a burnout cycle and a teacher who worked around the clock to a teacher who maximized her time in school, trusted herself, was confident in her teaching abilities, and started LOVING her life outside of work.

    We are going to break down these shifts in this episode.

    • Shift #1:  I worked on trusting myself, no matter what others thought
    • Shift #2: Gaining Confidence in the Classroom
    • Shift #3: Working overtime doesn't make you a good teacher

    These shifts can feel overwhelming and impossible, which is why I want to help you create the shifts as you move into a new school year. I have opened up my 90 minute breakthrough calls for teachers this summer.  Let's get you on the calendar!

    If you want to have an opportunity to be a guest on this podcast, you can fill this form out and I will be in touch with you to set up a time to record.

  • #133: Preparing for a New School Year over Summer

    I've been thinking about you! Summer vacation has either already begun or it's about to and you're already thinking about next school year. Your days are free, you aren't doing much so how can you not think about next year? 

    In today's episode, I want to help you take all the preventative measures so that you not only set yourself up for an incredible school year, you also don't find yourself on the brink of burnout as you approach the start of the year. 

    There are 3 recommendations that I share with all the teachers I work with and I am sharing those recommendations with you today - 

    • Create a classroom/behavior management plan
    • Set BOUNDARIES
    • Find a Mentor

    These recommendations will serve you now and in the long run. These recommendations will also help you to know exactly what you need to start working on in order to feel prepared for the new school year.
