Teaching to the TOP

It's that time of the year where exhaustion is setting in. We are getting to the final few weeks of school and it might seem more and more challenging to do even the smallest of tasks. 

In this episode we are breaking down some strategies for letting things go so that you can finish the year strong. The reality is we can not do it all and so you have to make some hard choices on what to keep and what to let go.

Right now it's either the end of the school year and you have about 2 weeks left or you still have a month + left with students before they head off for summer break. 

Either way, this time of the year has a way of sucking all the energy right out of your body. You start waking up late, your dropping the ball on your routine, and you've really started to look for simpler ways to keep kids entertained for the last 10 days of school. 

But let's be honest! You can't help yourself.... why? Because this time of the year not only signals that you have a hand full of days left, it also comes with more paperwork, more assessments, more to-dos, and more behaviors. 

So how do you deal with this time of the year? Well, in this episode we talk about how to cope with exhaustion in and outside of the classroom.

We all have that one (or even a few) people in our lives that are so unorganized that it can drive us all a little bit crazy. We've had so many messages from you all about what are the best ways to deal with your teacher partner, husband, wife, or friend that just doesn't have it together. 

This episode is all about those strategies that you can be doing to help support that special person in your life. You'll learn about ways to help this person up for success and how you might even come to terms and learn to appreciate them for their strengths and weaknesses.

If you've been around for a while then you know how much we love checklists. They can keep you on track, help you remember what you needed at the grocery store, and give you that little extra time in bed each morning. When you have a checklist that has been curated with thought, you'll find that your checklist will do a lot of the work for you. 

In this episode, we are breaking down our favorite checklists to create. We give each of the categories you need to consider and some ideas for the checklists to make for those categories. We also dive into understanding how to store these checklists so that you are more likely to use them. You might want to save this episode because it will definitely be one that you come back to again and again.
