S5EP03 Four ways time management habits ...

ANGELA WATSON
About this episode

Every couple of episodes on this season on the Truth for Teachers podcast, I'm going to be featuring coaching calls. I'm answering teachers' specific questions about productivity, balance, and managing it all. Think of it as instructional coaching and life coaching rolled into one–and you get to listen in!

In this episode, I'm talking with Kendall, a grade 4 teacher in Alberta, Canada. Kendall has made a tremendous amount of changes to her workflow and is doing really well with time management overall, but there are a few areas where she's having trouble sticking to her habits and best practices. Listen in as we work through these common issues that you might be grappling with, too.
