Not So Wimpy Teacher Podcast

Welcome back to the Not So Wimpy Teacher podcast!   Are you a teacher who spends a little too much time at school or even a little too much time working at home? Then this is the episode for you.   I want to challenge the idea that the only way that you can be a good teacher is if you work really long hours, and that only the teachers who work really long hours are doing a great job.    News flash: your value is not tied to the number of hours you work. Your value is what you do with those hours.   I’m going to share a little of my own story as well as some strategies that I used to take back my life while still being a great teacher. It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.    Episode 85 Takeaways:  + Your value is not tied to the number of hours you work.  + It’s okay if being a mom isn’t your only calling.  + You don’t have to give up your personal life to be a good teacher.  + Taking back time for yourself will actually make you a better teacher.  + Use your calendar wisely.  + Decide on your work hours
