#7 | Your LESSON PLANS will only work if you have THIS in your classroom

We’ve all had that amazing lesson plan that we were so excited to teach. And when we finally got to teach it, it fell apart within the first 30 seconds. So what went wrong? I'm riding solo today, with my individual takeaways from a conversation with educator, administrator, headmaster, director… Dr. Ray Swann. Check out my conversation with this veteran educator in episode 3.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why safety is more important than your most amazing lesson plan

   
   



2. How teachers make the weather in obvious and subtle ways

   
   



3. I’m going to answer this question - Where do I find the soul of teaching? And I’m curious to hear your answers to this question as well…
