Description

If you’re juggling multiple preps and wondering how to handle your school’s new cell phone ban (especially now that it’s actually becoming law in some states), this episode is for you.

I’m sharing real talk about what this shift actually means for your daily routines, classroom management, and that already-overflowing to-do list.

As someone who’s been a teacher, assistant principal, and now a parent, I break down practical, low-tech swaps for those go-to phone activities—think exit tickets, bell ringers, and more—so you can keep your classroom running smoothly without the endless phone battles.

Tune in for actionable strategies, time-saving tips, and a little encouragement to help you stay focused and thrive, even when the rules keep changing!
