Growing Out of Struggle
About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges teachers face during spring, particularly around state testing, and encourages them to refocus and take action to finish the school year strong.
Hello everyone! Spring is here—and everything that means for school. State testing. Unknowns. Changes. Student behavior struggles…the list goes on. This time of year can be stressful and miserable at times for teachers. If you know, you know… But this time can also be a moment for clarity. A moment for reimagining and refocusing on what you need to do to make an impact in the classroom. This time of year can be the difference between ending on a high note, and ending in a way that isn't a representation of what you can truly accomplish in your work. This episode is all about acknowledging the struggles of this time of year, but not staying there. It's about moving forward and taking action that will help you reach the finish line of your school year. **This episode previously aired as #308. Timely and needed. A new episode will release next Monday.
