ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Embarking on the teaching journey is an exhilarating and rewarding experience, but it can also be daunting, especially during that crucial first year in the classroom. New teachers face many challenges, from lesson planning to classroom management, engaging students, and balancing work-life demands. However, with the right mindset and strategies, surviving and thriving through that inaugural year is entirely within reach.
In Episode 263 of the Class Dismissed Podcast, we talk with Helena Hains—the creator of The Present Teacher website and resources. Hains offers teachers strategies to leave work on time and avoid working extra on the weekends.
One of the time management hacks she shares with us is “batching.” Batching is a time management technique where you group similar tasks and tackle them all at once rather than addressing them individually throughout the day. It’s like consolidating your efforts into focused blocks of time.
