Do you feel like teaching just isn’t fun anymore? Does classroom management feel like you’re playing a game of whack-a-mole? Do you wish you could clone little Betsy - the only student in class who exudes joy and stays engaged while learning? Ever feel like shutting your door and going off script just so you can teach in a way that you know your students need? You’re not alone—and you’ve just found your people. (YAY!) In this podcast, you’ll find real solutions to bring joy back to teaching, create a caring classroom, and finally find some balance between school and home. Teaching doesn’t have to feel like you’re in survival mode. Here, you’ll discover creative learning strategies that engage your students, practical ways to build a connected and caring classroom culture, and mindset shifts that help you take back control of your own classroom. If you’re ready to stop drowning in scripted lessons, behavior struggles, and the Daily Teacher Drain—and start teaching with creativity, confidence, and purpose—you’re in the right place! Hey there, I’m Elizabeth, a teacher since 1999, a mentor, consultant, arts integration specialist and creator of SEAL: Social-Emotional Artistic Learning. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how creativity can transform a classroom—not just for our students, but for us teachers, too! I’ve always leaned into creative teaching strategies to build relationships, engage students, and keep myself loving what I do—even on the toughest days. (And, let’s face it - there are some tough days!) I’ve worked with teachers who are exhausted, stuck in survival mode, and struggling with behavior issues that drain their energy. But when you start tapping into your own creativity—using the arts to connect with students, to bring meaning into lessons, and to shift the classroom dynamic—something changes. The stress eases. The engagement rises. The joy returns. That’s what I want for you. If you’re ready to finally enjoy teaching again—to create a calm, connected classroom, engage your students in meaningful learning, and reclaim your personal time—WELCOME – this is the podcast for you. My solutions are simple, effective, and built to inspire the teacher—because you don’t need more on your plate, you just need what works. So go find your coffee (it’s around here somewhere), grab your favorite pen, take a deep breath, and get ready to Enjoy Teaching Again!

52 | Why Being a Superhero Teacher is Wrecking Your Passion for Teaching

jeudi 3 avril 2025Duration 11:24

You’ve heard it before: “Teachers are superheroes!” But let’s be honest—that cape? It’s heavy. 

In this episode, I talk about why the “superhero teacher” myth is not only unrealistic, but also unsustainable… and what to focus on instead so you can actually feel inspired, not exhausted.

If your passion for teaching is starting to wear you down instead of lift you up, it’s time for a new approach: to shift from trying to do it all, to doing what truly matters—making a real difference without burning out.

51 | Prepping Before State Testing? Don't Skip this Essential Step!

mardi 1 avril 2025Duration 14:06

Standardized testing is stressful—for our students and for us. But what if one of the best ways to help them succeed has nothing to do with test prep... 

In this episode, I’m sharing my secret to helping my students go into their state testing with some calm and confidence. This might just be the secret weapon you've been missing. You'll hear the 3 step framework you can use the day before testing that will calm nerves, build community, and help students show up refreshed and ready.

It’s time to lower the test stress, boost engagement, and make testing week a little more joyful.  Wait…what??? (yes.  seriously.)
