Tips & Tricks To Work Smarter, Not Harder Work When Students Do

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed and possibly burnt out with all that you have to do? 🙋

The grading, the emails, the lesson planning, making copies, uploading material, etc. 😩

It can all become too much and you feel like you are barely staying afloat.

I get it! Been there done that way too many times myself.

What if I told you there was a way that you could get some of this done during class time? 🤔

Yes, I said DURING CLASS TIME.

Did I catch your attention?!?!

One of the ways that I would catch up on grading, emails, lesson planning or other things I was able to do in my classroom is that I would give students independent work or projects to work on.

While they work on their assignment quietly, you can get things done to… WITHOUT feeling guilty!

So, if you feel you need some extra time at work to get things done, give your students something to work independently on.

It is a nice break for you and students to just relax, chill and to do something quietly. Most students like the change of pace, plus I let them listen to music while they work and that is a game changer! It always amazes me how they work better when they listen to music. Something about it just calms them and helps them focus.

Not sure what to give them? Here are some of my favorite resources to use with students:
