Summary
Kim Lepre is a 7th grade English teacher and the founder of the Teachers Need Teachers podcast. She's also a Beginning Teacher Mentor and Ed Tech Specialist in her district, and a Level 2 Google Certified Educator.
How has Kim managed to make time for all of that?
She made a significant reduction in her workload during her 13th year of teaching. That's when she joined The 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club.
I've invited Kim on the podcast to tell you exactly what she changed in her mindset and habits to allow her to reclaim around 15 hours a week, which she now uses to support other educators, spend time with her family, take care of her physical health by regularly working out, and a number of other activities that really mean a lot to her.
I think you'll get a lot of practical, actionable advice from Kim!
