We waste so much time as educators during the working day.
If we are not chatting with colleagues during our prep periods, we are often using many of our precious minutes in our prep periods planning how we will use our prep periods.
Teacher Ellen Linnihan, author of the book "Teacher Time Management - How to Prioritize Your Day So You Can Enjoy Your Evening", offers us several strategies for making every extra moment in our teaching count in terms of our efficiency.
We discuss:
- How to classify our activities into three categories - those activities that require high concentration, average, and low concentration.
- How to plan out in advance how to use low intensity/energy times in our teaching.
- What to do when students experience periods of high/low energy
- The power of video as a time saver for teachers.
- How to plan your units so we have an easier end of year.
