Episode 64: Best In Class: Leveraging Successful Side Hustles to Sustain Strong Classrooms with Mandy Rice The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education
-
- Education
Those in education know that teacher attrition rates are alarmingly high. Inadequate preparation, unrealistic expectations, and little support early on are only a fraction of why people flee from the field. With meager salaries, long hours of lesson planning and grading, and the ever-changing standards and requirements on one hand and the seemingly endless opportunities presented by the internet on the other, the lure of leaving the classroom behind seems a pull too strong to resist, removing some of the best from this career path.
Mandy is on a mission to help great teachers right where they belong—in the classroom—while still achieving financial success and the larger impact they crave.
Mandy got her start in the online space on YouTube, teaching other educators how to implement a flipped classroom experience. She took what she had learned teaching high schoolers AP Psych using a flipped-classroom approach and turned these insights into actionable steps. From there, Mandy wanted to help her fellow AP instructors, giving them their own time back while still helping students achieve those coveted high test scores. Mandy began a membership website and explains how others can take their content area expertise and do the same.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-Why the flipped classroom approach is student-centered and student serving
-How to flip your classroom—without getting overwhelmed
-Why opt for a membership site instead of simply posting one-off resources for TpT
