    Timing is Everything

    Listen and learn to find out why it is important to complete some tasks in the morning, and some in the afternoon.  When is the best time to learn math? write poetry? solve a problem requiring insight?  What role do breaks play in giving tests?  When should you tackle email and attend meetings? How can breaks make you a better teacher and more productive person?

    Take Back Your Time

    Welcome to the podcast!  This is the first podcast in a series all about the precious commodity of time, and about how we can use our own experiences during the pandemic to not only inform, but also to improve our teaching,  to support friends and family who are teachers, or to improve our own life situations. In fact, there is a little something that everyone can take away from the podcast – for the fetching price of “free!”
