The Teaching Scoop Melissa Novoa

STOP. Collaborate. And listen. No, but really, let's talk collaboration! Episode 4 is all about collaborating with others in a positive way! We have 5 of our favorite TIPS to share with you!

Teaching is hard, so let's work together! 

Everyone is always telling you to work on improving your weaknesses. Have you ever thought about putting LESS of your time into improving your weaknesses and instead putting MORE of your time into focusing and building on your strengths? In episode 3 of The Teaching Scoop we are going to share with you some very valuable advice we learned during a session with Wade King at Get Your Teach On. 

On Episode 2 of The Teaching Scoop you will learn more about our sponsors and hear about some of our exciting giveaways! Our plan was to discuss homework, but we will save that for a future episode because our sponsors are AMAZING and we want to share with you what ESGI is all about!
