188. Teach Your Class Off: Featuring CJ Reynolds
In today’s educational climate of budget shortages, rigid testing standards, and diminishing autonomy in the classroom, how can teachers bring creativity and passion back into their work? In this week’s episode, CJ Reynolds offers educators struggling with these issues and feeling burnt out a way to hit the reset button and reconnect with what energizes them about teaching.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Mental Health Strategies
- Teaching Tools and Strategies to Engage Your Students
- CJ’s YouTube Channel, Real Rap with Reynolds
- And his book, Teach Your Class Off
