Do your students every walk into class with tired eyes and total disengagement?
Do you ever ask your students questions and the only thing you hear are crickets?
Do you ever start a lesson and it totally flops, but you keep rolling with it because you don’t have a back-up plan?
If you said YES to any (or all) of those statements you are not alone.
Sometimes it feels like we are competing with kids for attention, but our number one goal is to help them prepare for college, career, and real life.
In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I explain a problem I experienced with my students on a Monday mornig.

If you are looking for ways to engage all kids and stop watching time on planning, this episode is for you!
