Case Study with Alexa Borota - 052

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m sure you can all relate to a feeling that Alexa so openly shared with me today. Sometimes, as teachers, we find ourselves in a rut--lacking inspiration, energy, or confidence in the classroom.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It could be due to a particular unit that isn’t clicking, some classroom personalities that aren’t quite jiving, or simply a time when life outside of school is so hectic, draining, or challenging that our happiness and success at work are affected. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While these feelings and seasons in teaching are totally normal, they still completely suck. There is no doubt about it. Fortunately, Alexa stumbled upon our podcast during one of these very seasons, and in her words, the rest is history!</span></p> <p><strong>Links mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://ebacademics.mykajabi.com/eb-teachers-club-waitlist"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ebacademics.com/detective</span></a></p> <p><strong>Are you enjoying the podcast?</strong><br /> Tag us <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ebacademics/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@ebacademics</a> and let us know which episode you're listening to!</p> <p><strong>Make sure to Subscribe and leave us a Review!</strong></p> <p>Your review helps us reach even more middle school ELA teachers just like you!
