Ep 39 Ultimate Back to School Organisation for Teachers

Episode Description

If you’re getting ready to go back to school then this episode is your ultimate back to school guide.

Today we unpack all the big picture stuff that teachers need to keep in  mind when planning and organising for the start of the new school year.

Everything from getting organised and why being organised is important, to the best colours for creating a calm learning environment, setting up provocations, thinking about planning, and ultimately our WHY, values and philosophy.

We discuss the ultimate strategy for keeping kids curious and how our own mindset matters.

Finally, how we as educators in our search for connection and acceptance can find like minded curious educators to connect with.
