<p>We all want to work smarter, not harder … and that doesn’t require a complete overhaul of your teaching practice or a brand new innovative workflow.</p> <p>Small changes in daily habits and mindset shifts can add up to big results, and I’ve invited 4 teachers to share what’s made the difference for them:</p> <ol> <li>The MVP principle and timer when lesson planning (LB Blackwell)</li> <li>Using a turn-in sheet for student work to speed up grading (Christina Rudd)</li> <li>Simplifying and automating email with parents (Christie Manners)</li> <li>Not having kids turn every assignment in and using less paper (Becky Teater)</li> </ol> <p>These teachers cut back on the amount of time they spend working WITHOUT sacrificing their instructional quality or shortchanging students and families. They’re proof that it’s possible to do a great job for kids without working endlessly on nights and weekends.</p> <p>Want more support in reducing your workload?
