62. Work Smarter, Not Harder: Tips for Overwhelmed Teachers, an Interview with Ashleigh Smith of ...

As the school year comes to an end in the United States, many of us are already thinking about what the next school year will bring. At some point, even if it's in August, you will be gearing up for back-to-school and the extra energy it will require of you. What if we took this summer to think about how we could approach the many tasks and asks of the school year so we could focus on what matters most? 
In this interview with Ashleigh Smith of Rainbow Sky Creations, you will get a refreshing reminder of how things can work better in your classroom without reinventing the wheel and feeling like you have to check every item off your to-do list in order to be an effective teacher. You'll enjoy this practical, fun conversation that will have you reflecting on how you can spend your time in the classroom to make the best use of it, without being distracted by things that don't make the best use of our time and energy.
