Show Notes:

For the first six to eight weeks of the school year, you’re working at least 60 hours trying to keep up with the demands of teaching and meeting the needs of your students. And as much as you’re willing to give your all to your students, it’s not sustainable. This inevitably leads you to ask, How can I cut back and save time? 

Whether you’re a new or veteran teacher, it’s important to know how to manage your classroom more efficiently, which starts with time management. By streamlining your processes and routines, along with learning ways to work smarter, not harder, you can begin to achieve a work-life balance and start to prioritize your life outside the classroom. In order to help you achieve this, I’m sharing 10 time-saving tips for teachers that you can apply in your classroom today. 

If you’re wanting different results, you need to start making different decisions. Ultimately, that’s what these time-saving tips help you do. They require you to examine different aspects of your school day and implement new habits that prioritize your goal of spending more time outside of school. These tips include streamlining systems for lesson planning and grading, ways to collaborate with teachers, how to get students involved, and limiting distractions. 

It’s no question that teachers give their all, including their time, to prepare the best lessons and create engaging activities for their students. However, sometimes that comes at the cost of working too many hours and asking yourself how to cut back. But by implementing my 10 time-saving tips for teachers, you will learn how to streamline your routines and manage your classroom more efficiently.

  • 10 time-saving tips for teachers and how they prioritize your goals and help you achieve work-life balance
