What if your classroom didn’t need more resources—but a better rhythm?
In this episode, I’m sharing the one shift that changed everything for me as a math teacher: designing with rhythm. From launching units with anchor activities to structuring daily warm-ups and routines, I’ll show you how simple systems lead to better engagement, deeper understanding, and more peace—for you and your students.
✅ In this episode, we’ll explore:
- Why teaching is like choreography—and how rhythm creates calm
- How I start each unit with an anchor activity students remember
- What makes warm-ups actually work
- The biggest mistake teachers make with structure
- One rhythm shift you can try this week
