Ever considered visualizing your entire teaching day before you even get to school? Thinking it can make it so!

Ohm, baby!

Joe and I cooked up this special episode just for you, dear listeners, as you move into another wonderful and stressful school year. We know that the first day back can be… well, lots of things. That’s why we cut right to it, offering quick, actionable ways to get your mind right, manage the classroom, and even understand those tricky student dynamics before the school year gets rolling. We’ve pulled some great ideas from our teaching friends, mixed in our own thoughts, and kept it short and sweet.

Know a teacher? They might appreciate your sharing these tips with them!

You’ll hear about

* creative approaches to the first day

* self-care on and after the first day

* what to do with dread

* what psychodynamic shenanigans to look for
