    223. #GOALS Check-In: First Quarter Review of Our Goals for 2024

    Goals are a great way to make sure you are on the right track to what you want to accomplish in 2024. This year we are approaching our goals a little differently in hopes that we are more likely to stick to them and achieve them by the end of the year. 
    Now that the first quarter has wrapped up and we are headed into April, we wanted to take a moment to reflect and share if we managed to accomplish the goals that we set up in January. From there, we look at the next three months (April-June) and share our new goals!
    Grab your planners and get ready to sit down to plan with us.

TOP is where these ladies are at FOR SURE!

I found Michelle during the pandemic when trying to learn all things Google Classroom. I loved how realistic her tips were and just how completely honest and transparent she was about real life. Almost 5 years later, I still am an avid follower and listener. Both her teaching tips and life hacks are always a go-to for me! Thank you, ladies, for always having relevant information to listen to and apply.

Relatable and worth the listen

I’m a 20+ year veteran teacher and started listening about 6 months ago. Your tips on organizational strategies really helped me simplify what I do and save time. You’re funny and your TSH are so relatable. You even featured mine once! Because of you I finally took the leap and digitalized ALL my resources and it’s been a life saver!

The positivity helps push me through the week - the conversations and strategies renew my excitement about teaching on a weekly basis. Whether your a veteran teacher or new to the field, you NEEEED this podcast! Thank you ladies!
