Speaking And Listening

In this episode, Noah Waspe and Beth Rimer talk with Betsy Woods (@BetsyLWoods)about what we should take with us from this online-teaching experience into next year!

In this episode, we build on the ideas we shared last time about the “Create vs. Complete” mindset, and this time (tip of the hat, once again to Lindsay Bruggeman), we dig into what’s essential as we move into new ways of teaching and learning.

"How do you plan? How do you make decisions about what to put into your school year, week, and day?" "How do we make decisions on what to implement when we keep running out of time?" In this episode we work through ideas on how to make sure we plan for what's important, how to fit it all in, and how we an use structures for our school day in ways that maximize our teaching impact. To tackle these big ideas around questions of planning, we enlisted the help of OWP stalwarts, Megan Rodney, Megan Moore, and David Tarr. Want to know more about OWP?
