Ep 275: [AMA] Visual Planning Cues to Simplify Multi-Prep Routines

If juggling different class routines and constantly second-guessing your plans sounds all too familiar, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my favorite time-saving strategy: simple visual planning cues that help you manage multiple preps, streamline routines, and reduce that daily overwhelm.

Learn how to create easy, repeatable visual prompts (think icons for group work, warm-ups, or independent tasks) that keep both you and your students on track—no more last-minute confusion or repeating directions all period long.

Tune in to discover practical tips for implementing these visual cues, so you can focus more on teaching (and less on just keeping up).

Too many preps and not enough time? Let’s make your planning period actually work for you.
