#133: Why Leaving at Contract Time Makes You A Better Teacher
When I first came up with the desire to leave at contract time as a new teacher I felt incredibly guilty. I thought that in order to be a good teacher I had to work a lot of hours and really hard.
But over the years I have found systems that have worked for me and the teachers that I coach to consistently get us out the door WHILE being weeks ahead in lesson planning and prepping.
Well today I am diving into my top reasons why leaving at contract time makes you a better teacher. PLUS I am diving into the strategies my clients and I use to consistently get out the door work-free WITHOUT feeling guilty.
Get a peek behind-the-scenes on the weekly schedule I use, the mindset shifts I've made, which teacher tasks I prioritize on a weekly basis, the systems I use to get weeks ahead, the boundaries I set, and the reminders I give myself that have allowed me to get out the door around contract time for the past 5 years.
