Episode 311: Sprinkle Some Magic: Lesson Planning, Student Engagement & Owning Your Teaching Style

Author: Real Rap With Reynolds July 7, 2025 Duration: 1:06:54

We’re back! After a short break, Sunday Night Teacher Talk returns with Episode 311, and we’re diving into all the things teachers are thinking about as a new school year approaches.

This week’s live Q&A covers:

  • How to lesson plan when you’re teaching brand-new material

  • Ways to engage students who just don’t care

  • What to do when a retiring teacher hands you their old curriculum

  • Tips for teaching a text you’ve never read

  • Encouragement for first-year teachers finding their own voice

  • Study strategies for students

  • How to embed writing across your school’s curriculum

  • The power of teaching with your individual gifts

  • And yes… what my kids should call me now that I’m teaching them! 😄

Plus, I share my favorite part of the summer so far.
We’re sharpening one another because, as Proverbs says, iron sharpens iron.

Let’s teach our class off—together.
