Summary

We all have those teachers in our buildings. You know. The ones that have it all together and are able to leave no more than 20 minutes after the kids are dismissed. They seem so cool, calm and collected and have every resource printed and ready to go. Each time you see them, you secretly wonder “How. How are they able to do it all?” You beat yourself up because you wonder what you are doing wrong and why you can’t be like that teacher. We have all felt this way at some point in our careers. Our goal is to help give you strategies so that you can be that teacher. We’ve broken down this topic into three important categories: Time, Productivity and Organization. See what we did there?

0:19.7	this is going to be a topic that so many of you are going
0:22.8	to be just as excited as we are. So we already know what top stands for, time, organization,
0:31.0	and productivity. Now, just a quick reminder, Bridget and I are holding a live event on Saturday,
0:37.4	March 28th at Heritage Hills Resort

1:46.1	that with us. And second of all, I can totally relate. I have grown really close to one of my team
1:52.0	teachers who I've worked with the past three years. And as much as I love our friendship,
