In this episode, we're getting real about classroom management — the hardest part of teaching that nobody fully prepares you for.


The biggest mindset shift? Build your systems for your worst days, not your best ones. The goal is predictable routines that hold up even when you're running on three hours of sleep and a full inbox.


We walk through the Checklist across three areas:


For the Teacher — how to structure your unit and weekly planning, simplify your grading decisions, set up parent communication templates (including a weekly positive note habit), and use instructional videos to protect your energy all semester long.


For Students — creating one consistent place for due dates and missed work, simplifying your turn-in process, locking in your late work policy before the semester starts, and setting up materials and early finisher options that don't require you.


For the Classroom — building a reliable entry warm-up, defining what independent work actually looks and sounds like, closing class with intention, and being meticulous about your phone policy before it gets away from you.


If you want the checklist, head to www.deeplyhumanteaching.com and scroll to the bottom of the homepage.

Gateway Activities for your Next Unit!]]>In this episode, I'm breaking down three types of gateway activities you can actually use in a high school classroom


What we cover:


The Simulation — how to immerse students in the world of your unit. I talk about what @wellhelloitsmarie does for her Gatsby unit!

The Era Party — students discover a moment in time through newspapers, primary sources, and people at table stations. The difference between this and a Simulation: students do the discovering through a scavenger-hunt style activity.

The Mirror — my personal favorite. This is where you put the past and the present side by side and let students make the connection without being told what to think. I walk through my French Revolution station activity, where my stations put liberty caps next to Katniss Everdeen, revolutionary pamphlets next to Childish Gambino lyrics.

What's Inquiry-Based Learning?]]>Inquiry-based learning sounds great in theory. But most of the explanations we hear in PDs are full of jargon and zero help for actually planning inquiry-based units.


This episode is the version I wish someone had given me. What inquiry actually is, what it is NOT, what it looks like in a real high school classroom, and why it matters more right now than it ever has.


In this episode:

  • The simplest definition of inquiry-based learning you'll ever hear
  • What Inquiry-Based Learning is NOT
  • Inquiry-Based Learning driven by a really good question
  • The bare bones of an Inquiry-Based Unit

Leaving the High School Classroom Wasn't My Choice]]>(Apologies for the audio quality, I got rid of my podcast mic and my new one is en route but I really wanted to get this ep recorded and published)


I knew I wanted to share my story eventually, and I do feel ready to share it, but feeling ready (enough) doesn't make it any less scary. So a big thank you to anyone who's willing to listen along.


After a year, I've re-launched Deeply Human Teaching and I didn't want to go on business as usual without giving you an update. My DMs are open to anyone who has felt the same guilt after leaving the classroom (whether it was planned or not)


And whether you're an aspiring teacher, still in the K-12 setting, in higher ed, left the education setting altogether, and everywhere in between


I’m in your corner 🖤
