  • “The rhythm of an academic year is necessary for the longevity of teachers.”
  • “At the end of the first week of school, what do we want our students or our learners that are in our care to know? We want them to know that we care about them, we want them to know that we value excellence, and we want them to know that we’re passionate about our work - the content and also the work of education.”
  • “If you can do that bigger picture planning now at the start of the school year, I think that will save so much time and allow you freedom later on to pivot as you need.”
  • “Plan, put effort into it, pray about it, approach it in a positive manner, and then just make the best with what you can and with what you have because, at the end of the day, actually how you approach the first day of school is really going to set the tone for your students.”
  • Tips from past guests:
    • Linda: Have a plan for classroom management
    • Esther: Have students share a special item from home
    • Anna: Give each student a fresh start and view them as children of God
    • Jonathan: Keep the students the main focus over the lesson plan
    • Lindsay: Welcome each student personally as they enter the room
    • Tosca: Take time to reflect and remember that God is writing your story

What’s changing our lives:
