Avoiding Common Mistakes in Teaching A New Course
Description
Teaching multiple preps can be overwhelming, but after 10 years in the classroom, I've learned from my mistakes and adapted to the workload.
Every year, adding a new prep seemed daunting, but now I've come up with strategies to thrive rather than merely survive.
In this episode, I'll share the biggest mistakes I made—diving in without a plan, not understanding the curriculum, and underestimating the workload—so that you can avoid the same pitfalls.
