Summary
In this in-between-seasons bonus ep, you'll hear some quick audio clips of teachers sharing how they are challenging norms in education and creating a sustainable workload through the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek program.
I'll also share how 40 Hour is creating institutional change through the 40 Hour Leadership and 40 Hour Instructional Coaching programs.
I hope you will hear my heart and get the bigger picture message I want to send! This is an offering of hope, encouragement, and support for folks who want to do the job they love without burning out.
The 40 Hour programs are THE MOST powerful tools I've created for shifting workload norms in education, keeping great teachers in the field, and supporting those who are struggling so they can grow into their best selves.
Please pass this link onto anyone in education who you think might benefit or who shares my passion for educator wellbeing, including innovative school leaders who want tools to support their staff:
Thank you for supporting my work–whether it's by joining 40 Hour, telling others about it, or even just listening to this podcast.

| 0:00.0 | As Angela always says, small changes add up to big results and I would say |
| 0:04.4 | that's true with this course. Every week when I listen to the materials I will |
| 0:09.5 | think about what is the one small change that I can try in my classroom this |
| 0:14.2 | week. This has really transformed how I teach, how I relate to my students, and |
| 0:20.4 | how I organize my classroom. So I can't say enough good things about the club. |
| 0:24.9 | It has made me a better teacher. It has made me a better mom. It is an |
| 0:28.8 | even better wife. And I truly believe it's made me a better co-worker because |
| 0:33.6 | people are seeing that you don't have to do all of this to be good. I don't |
| 0:38.9 | think this club is just about working less. It is about making you a better |
| 0:45.9 | teacher. And that's what I want to be. I want to be the best teacher I can be. |
| 0:50.6 | Overall my mental and emotional and physical health have changed dramatically |
| 0:54.6 | from the program as well. And that I would say is much more important than any |
| 0:58.3 | career game that I've had. I've appreciated having all of these resources |
| 1:04.3 | on my fingertips. I don't have to reinvent the wheel or I can go there and get |
| 1:08.0 | support and see ideas and see other people being encouraged that also |
| 1:12.2 | encourages me. If you're looking for balance, this is the club for you. It's not |
| 1:17.9 | just one more thing to do. It's a support system. Hey there friends, it's Angela. |
| 1:26.5 | I wanted to open this little in-between podcast season's bonus episode with |
| 1:32.8 | some words from 40-hour teacher workweek members. And in particular I want |
| 1:38.2 | you to hear what this next person has to say because I think it really sets |
| 1:42.8 | the tone for what I want to share with you in the rest of this episode. |
| 1:46.2 | Listen in. What the 40-hour teacher club provides is quite possibly the most |
