Welcome to episode 214 of Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers.

I'm your host Angela Watson, and I'm here to speak life, encouragement, and true into

the minds and hearts of educators and get you energized for the week ahead.

Today, I'm talking with Dr. Katlin Tucker about some practical tips for simplifying your workload

and blended learning, including assessment, virtual station rotations, student engagement, and more.

Instead of the typical mention from our podcast sponsors this week, I wanted to share about some resources of my own

that you might not realize I offer.

I've created more than 70 downloadable and printable resources for teachers.

The Teachers box of tricks is a set of 35 no prep practice activities that you can plug in to almost any

lesson for any grade level in subject area. They're designed to have kids construct their own learning

rather than having you create all the content on your own time and then just pass it out for students to consume.

Even test prep becomes a highly engaging activity that encourages critical thinking and discussion and collaboration.

And that's just the Teachers box of tricks.

I've also created math partner games for grades K to 5, discussion starters for math problem solving,

feedback comments for student writing, an editable one-trade rubric, and a report card comment system

that's designed to take half the time of your current process.

There's also several resources for executive functioning, including a clean desk diagram for teaching organization to kids,

along with growth mindset and working memory activities.

The most recent addition is emergency subplans for every grade level K to 12.

I co-created these with a team of practicing classroom teachers to make sure we're producing high quality,

rarest activities that kids can do in your absent.
