I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me. I can help reduce your overwhelm, give you some teachy inspo and improve your work-life balance. How? With solid takeaways you can try out immediately AND some much needed teacher love. Because your wellbeing is important too. You can find my contact details in the show notes if you'd like me to work with your institution and create a tailor-made CPD workshop for you.

Episode 146: What Teachers (Probably Shouldn't) Prioritize with Charlie Cranmer

This week I talk to Charlie Cranmer, aka Charlie's Lessons.

We talk about.....well, what don't we talk about?

Here's a quick rundown of where our initial conversation about pressure and prioritizing went:

- students might not like us vs common ground

- box-ticking vs approaches that aren't grammar-oriented

-grammar vs function

- the security blanket of the course book

- perfection vs realistic lesson outcomes

- PPP

- input

- bad TTT vs quality TTT

- underprepping vs overprepping.

Join us as we put the world to rights.

Charlie Cranmer is a Cambridge CELTA and DELTA certified English teacher and has been teaching for over 15 years. He is currently the Director of Studies at CLIC International House and the creator of Charlie's Lessons YouTube channel, where he creates content on educational technology and practical tips for teachers.
