Re-Release of Episode 20: Class Jobs: Building Community, Boosting Engagement, and Saving Your Sanity
Why am I re-releasing this episode? Because after a few weeks back in the classroom, I felt it again — that weight of doing everything myself: picking up pencils, erasing the board, answering endless “what did I miss?” emails. And I remembered… this episode holds the solution.
In this powerful conversation with Annabelle Williamson (La Maestra Loca) and John Seifert, we dive deep into classroom jobs — not just what they are, but why they matter. Annabelle and John share:
- Their favorite jobs and how they transformed their classes.
- How to implement jobs step by step (even mid-year).
- Troubleshooting tips to keep the system running.
Whether you’re the “least type-A teacher ever” (like Annabelle) or highly structured (like John), you’ll find a way to make class jobs work for you.
If you’re feeling tired, stretched thin, or just looking for a way to re-energize your class culture, this episode is exactly what you need right now. Listen now.
