Are you feeling stressed out at the thought of heading back to school?
Many teachers are feeling even more overwhelmed about heading back to the classroom than normal this year. There is just so much to do and they are already tired. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
In this episode of Real Teacher Talk, I sat down with my friend Michelle Emerson from Pocketful of Primary to talk about five easy tips that you can use to start the new school year off organized.
Michelle Emerson taught 2nd grade and 4th grade for seven years and now supports teachers around the world by creating digital teacher resources, producing educational videos for teachers on her YouTube channel, Pocketful of Primary, and sharing productivity tips on her podcast, Teaching to the TOP.
She believes all teachers should feel empowered by their profession instead of overwhelmed and seeks to help educators create a work-life balance through her tips and strategies.
Michelle has so many amazing ideas for getting organized and making things much easier on yourself when you head back to the classroom. Make sure to tune in to hear her five tips including why checklists are so important, low-prep activities to have on hand, why less is more, the benefits of planning ahead, and so much more!
