Teacher Take the Lead Episode 13 - Make the most of your planning time with time blocking
Do you use time blocking? Time blocking is a time management strategy that I’ve used to help me prioritize and organize my time - especially for lesson planning, grading, and emails. Without careful planning, these tasks can absorb your time like a sponge. possibly consuming more time for those tasks than they might actually require. In this episode, I’m sharing how I used time blocking to structure my planning time so that I could keep my teacher tasks within the boundaries of my contract hours. I also give you the step by step method that you can implement time blocking as a classroom teacher.
