EP256 Four teachers' small changes that made BIG reductions in their workload

Published: April 24, 2022, 4 p.m.

We all want to work smarter, not harder \u2026 and that doesn\u2019t require a complete overhaul of your teaching practice or a brand new innovative workflow.

Small changes in daily habits and mindset shifts can add up to big results, and I\u2019ve invited 4 teachers to share what\u2019s made the difference for them:

  1. The MVP principle and timer when lesson planning (LB Blackwell)
  2. Using a turn-in sheet for student work to speed up grading (Christina Rudd)
  3. Simplifying and automating email with parents (Christie Manners)
  4. Not having kids turn every assignment in and using less paper (Becky Teater)

These teachers cut back on the amount of time they spend working WITHOUT sacrificing their instructional quality or shortchanging students and families. They\u2019re proof that it\u2019s possible to do a great job for kids without working endlessly on nights and weekends.
