Hey there, it's Angela. I thought I'd pop in here even though the podcast is on hiatus for the summer,

because there's some stuff that I want to share that will be too late for you to hear in August,

when our regular episodes resume. I want to do a really deep dive in this special

episode about envisioning positive change and a more resilient pedagogical approach in the way we do school this coming year.

There are some uncomfortable truths that I think we need to discuss and some realities that I think

we need to come to terms with and admit here in order to move forward.

And I'm not going to shy away from that.

However, I think that this episode

is going to leave you feeling both encouraged

and empowered to use your voice to help shape what teaching and learning are going to be like

this coming school year. So before we get into things I want to start with a

quick announcement that the 40-hour teacher work week program is now open and the July 2020 cohort is kicking off.

So it's called 40-hour because the average K-12 teacher in the U.S. is contracted to work around

40 hours a week. The systems in this program

that I created help you maximize those hours so that you're not working endlessly on

nights and weekends. So in the program you get resources and support throughout each month of the year

starting in July 2020 and ending next June.

And I'll be adapting the materials each month prior to their release

so that you always have what's relevant

and timely for whatever's happening in schools throughout the year.

So if that's teaching remotely or a hybrid model or safe distancing in the classroom or any other new reality, we will help you

streamline your workflow and help you stay focused on what makes the biggest impact for kids.
