À propos de ce contenu audio

 Getting it all done in teaching often feels impossible—especially in the second half of the school year.

In this episode, I share a midyear planning roadmap designed for teachers who feel behind on curriculum but still want to finish the year strong without sacrificing their sanity.

This isn’t about perfect pacing or daily lesson plans. It’s about taking a step back, looking at the big picture, and making intentional decisions about what deserves your time and energy.
We’ll talk about:
  • How to look back at what you’ve taught without guilt or shame
  • How to prioritize skills using a simple tiered system
  • How to plan around real-life interruptions like breaks, testing, absences, and school events
  • What “good enough” means when time is limited
  • Why flexibility is a strength—not a failure

I also share how I leave notes for my future self so the same pacing issues don’t repeat year after year—and why reflection is the key to long-term growth as a teacher.
