Teaching multiple preps can be overwhelming, but after 10 years in the classroom, I've learned from my mistakes and adapted to the workload.
Every year, adding a new prep seemed daunting, but now I've come up with strategies to thrive rather than merely survive.
In this episode, I'll share the biggest mistakes I made—diving in without a plan, not understanding the curriculum, and underestimating the workload—so that you can avoid the same pitfalls.
Too many preps and not enough time? Let’s make your planning period actually work for you.
