The Teach Joyfully Podcast
How do I leave my work at school so I can rest and recharge without the teacher guilt? How do I efficiently stay on top of all the planning, prep and grading? How do I train my students to [mostly] self-monitor so I can really teach? How can I create a community of focused learners in my classroom? How can I help my students grow into committed readers and writers? And the biggest question of all, can I REALLY streamline and simplify my literacy instruction while helping students make more than expected progress in reading and writing?
Welcome to the Teach Joyfully Podcast where we will answer ALL of these questions and so much more!
