Gretchen Bridgers: How to Think of Teaching as a Series of Building Blocks

from Have a Life Teaching · host John Schembari

Join me and my guest Gretchen Bridgers and I as we discuss her latest book - Always a Lesson. In it, and in our conversation, Gretchen discusses the four building blocks of teaching that must be considered, in order, for teaching to be successful. These blocks, or'bricks", include lesson design, class management/systems, student engagement, and, ultimately, student ownership. This episode is not just for new educators, mind you. As Gretchen says in our conversation, it is important for every teacher to reset each year as the needs of our students fluctuate from year to year. Consider listening to this episode with Gretchen to help you refocus your teaching energies on what matters.
