Why You're Struggling with Classroom Management: What Nobody Told You21 Sep 202200:27:35

Over the past couple of weeks on the podcast, we've been talking about a couple of different topics. One of them was how to set up your teacher planning binder. And the other one was how to manage all of that student data

As I was recording those episodes, it really got me thinking about how classroom management is a much broader topic than what we traditionally think about classroom management as. I've worked with more than 1,500 teachers inside the R.E.A.D.Y for School Academy over the last few years, and what's become so much clearer to me than ever before, is that classroom management is not just about managing students. I realized that it all really boils down to four key areas, all of which fall under the larger umbrella of how I define classroom management. I'm sharing those key areas with you today.

How to Manage All That Student Data14 Sep 202200:27:55

I don't know about you, but when I first started teaching elementary school, "student data" was the one term that struck fear in my heart. The phrase made me uncomfortable. I didn't feel prepared to be able to collect and organize data on my students. I didn't learn about it in University, and I've never been a math person, so it just felt like something that was going to be a real challenge for me. If you're feeling this way as you begin a new school year, you definitely aren't alone. I'm here to walk you through how to set up your very own student data binder in a way that's organized and effective.

How to Set Up Your Teacher Planning Binder: Your Essential Classroom Management Tool07 Sep 202200:25:06

Do your eyes light up when you walk through the office supply aisle at Target? As teachers, the colorful flair pens, sticky notes, and art supplies are basically our love language. So, when someone puts a really pretty planner in front of us, that just makes our whole day, right?

The problem is that a lot of the planners out there expect that you have taught for at least a few years, and even include things that you just won't ever use. That's why I'm going to teach you how to set up your teacher planning binder based on being a new teacher, plus I'll show you how this binder is actually an essential classroom management tool!

How to Get Planned, Prepped, and Organized Without Working 24/7 with Stephanie Palovchik10 Aug 202200:28:07

Do you take your school work home every weekend? Do you check work emails on the weekend? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you may think it's not even possible to stop doing these things. You may also find it challenging to get any real planning done during contracted hours. As teachers, the lines behind work time and personal time can get very blurry very quickly…even after the back-to-school craziness has come and gone. 

If you feel like you're working 24/7, then you're going to love hearing from today's guest, productivity expert, Stephanie Palovchik. She really knows a thing or two about productivity and honing in on systems so that the overwhelm doesn't last you all year long.

READY for the School Year with First-Year Teacher Kelsey Moody18 Jul 202200:30:03

Are you a beginning teacher getting ready for your very first year of teaching? If so, you're going to love today's episode because I am talking to Kelsey Moody, who is also preparing for the upcoming school year.

Kelsey is from West Virginia, and will be teaching fourth grade this fall. She is also a student in my R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy. She has been going through the program with us for the past two months, so you're going to get to hear from a beginning teacher who's literally getting ready for the school year in real time with the help of the academy. 

If you've been on the fence about joining the Academy, or if you're trying to decide if this is something that you might want to invest in, Kelsey might be able to shed some light and give you some insight into how it's been helpful for her. Then you can make a decision about whether or not this is something that would be helpful for you as well.

BEGINNING TEACHER TALK
How to Know if You're Ready for the School Year06 Jul 202200:22:37

If you're a new teacher, do you feel ready for the upcoming school year? 

After student teaching, we quickly realize that much of the theory that we learned in college is much more difficult to apply. We start to see the gaps in what we learned in our university classes and how things actually play out inside the classroom. Still, we have a vision in our heads of how we're going to be an amazing teacher just like the amazing teachers we've had before us. But we underestimate, or are entirely unaware, of the careful strategic planning and years of experience that it really took for that to happen. 

I want to help prepare you for the reality of this learning curve that you're about to experience as a brand new teacher. Today I'm sharing some things that you'll want to consider (that go beyond classroom set up) as you go into your first year of teaching.

Find Your Tribe & Prepare Ahead for Crazy Back-to-School Busy29 Jun 202200:28:06

The following sentence just might qualify as the understatement of the century...I think we might have a tendency to underestimate how hard it is to be a teacher when we've never had our own classroom before.

The truth is, we just don't realize how demanding this profession is until we're in it. So, with a new school year is approaching, I want to share the importance of finding your tribe and how to prepare for that crazy back-to-school busy.
