This week, I’m opening the cupboard doors — literally.
I’ve been going through 10+ years of teaching materials: dusty files, endless flashcards, laminated tasks I’ll never use again… and asking myself: Why am I still holding onto this stuff?
In this episode, I share what this whole process taught me about growth, change, and the way we teach. Spoiler: it’s not really about the materials at all. It’s about how we see ourselves as teachers, and how far we’ve come.
Plus, to celebrate the launch of this new chapter, I’m giving away a free 45-minute mentor coffee chat with me. All you have to do is fill in a short survey (link below). It takes just a couple of minutes, and your answers will help shape the new community I’m building for teachers like you.
