0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your hosts, Michelle Emerson and Bridget Spackman, and we are here to make your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:12.9	Welcome to a completely new series we are going to be starting on teaching to the top, at least hopefully, unless it crashes and burns. If y'all hate it,
0:21.1	we'll stop. But we'll explain more about it in a second. Just know it's going to be a chatty episode.
0:28.9	Okay, but before we do that, we are going to be listening to a TSA from us.
0:35.4	So we're each going to be sharing a TSA that we have right now because it's a chatty episode. This is what we do here. So I am going to go first. Go for it. So I'm going to say my biggest time-sucking hurdle right now is lots and lots of learning. Guys, my brain hurts. Okay. There are moments where it's like, I just need to go

2:06.2	and I know a lot of people are like, well, you know, she's not in the classroom.
2:09.4	She's learning all these things and she's not in the classroom anymore.
2:12.0	But I'm able to help make connections to the classroom.
