Fun fact: “iteration” and “imagination” aren’t quite the same thing. Yet to the untrained eye, you might just be able to convince someone of a hidden talent that you don’t actually possess! Fake it ’till you make it, right? In this week’s episode, we tackle the subtle but important differences between iteration and imagination, and we take a look at how cultivating creativity through simple acts of muscle memory can really help you level up your teaching game. Come join in the party!
Recorded in bumper-to-bumper traffic to and from my daily work as a high school instructional coach just outside of Washington D.C., Talk to Mee in the Car is where a brainstorm and a good old-fashioned brain dump collide to help educators hone their skills and become leaner, meaner, 21st century teaching machines. Join me for a quick hitting 11(ish) minute episode every Monday for tips, tricks, and strategies to change the game in your classroom TODAY with high-energy, student-centered teaching that actually works.
Because one size fits all professional development simply doesn’t.
