Angela Watson’s Truth for Teachers
Education:Courses
I recently had an upbeat, fun conversation with Lisa Woodruff of Organize 365 for her podcast, and thought I'd share an excerpt of it here with you!
We're talking all about the state of education today, what we're hearing from teachers about their needs, and our experiences with burnout and balance.
As a fellow former educator, Lisa knows the mindset and challenges of teaching well, and does a deep dive with me into some of the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek principles. This includes: the difference between required work vs hobby work, overcoming perfectionism, and learning what you can say no to without having your classroom fall apart.
We both share some major timewasting mindsets we fell prey to as teachers, and how we think about our work and time differently today.
If you enjoy this conversation, check out ep 149, called Living life as an organized teacher.
