Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers
EP179 Out the door by 4: Streamlining Friday afternoon planning (Rebecca's coaching call)
20 Oct 2019
In this coaching call, a 25-year veteran teacher explores why it's taking her so long to get out the door on Friday afternoons when she's trying to plan for the following week. Rebecca shares, "I'm a really good teacher, but with as long as I take to plan lessons, I should be one of the best in the world!" Together, we explore ways to streamline her planning process so she's spending less time fitting the pieces together and hunting for good activities. We also examine her Friday afternoon routines to look for ways she might be wasting time, and try to find tasks she can move to other time periods to allow her to start her weekend at a decent hour. Rebecca's coaching call ends with 3 actionable takeaways, one for reducing the time spent planning lessons, one for prioritizing coworker conversations without staying late, and one for re-allocating work hours to make sure she's out the door by 4 on Fridays.
