If one thing you’re dreading for back to school is grading, these EdTech tools for grading are here to save you (and your precious time).
As a former teacher, I remember the days when I would leave school with a bag full of essays, math papers, and projects to grade. After my evening routine with my family, the last thing I wanted to do was grade papers.
Here are some popular EdTech grading tools to help you save time at home and be present this school year.

The REAL Reason Teachers are Leaving the Profession

I left my teaching position with Chicago Public Schools after giving a decade of my life to the profession. I departed for multiple reasons, including a family move, the need for a challenge in my career, and the desire to escape the grind and stress.
Back then, I didn’t know many teachers who wanted to leave teaching. I was the outlier, and people were shocked when I made my departure. I was a standout educator with strong student and parent relationships, and my test scores and student growth were always through the roof.
Wind the clock ahead; I’ve been out of the classroom almost longer than I was in it. I’ve spent the second decade of my career working in edtech (eSpark Learning and Discovery Education) and in the last five years building educators 2 educators.
Back when I left the classroom, we were all stressed. Yes, parents were demanding. Yes, we had a few students who made our classroom hard to manage.
But we faced nothing like what teachers are facing today.
Covid, plus social media, plus technology, plus a mental health crisis, plus a downward economy…
I’ve spent the last ten years traveling the nation, visiting school districts of all sizes, and building an educator network of over 70,000 educators. I talk to teachers, coaches, and administrators every day. And today, I’m going to tell you WHY teachers and administrators are leaving education in a steady stream.

We’re Back: Teacher Self-Care in 2023

Teacher self-care is not selfish! This month we are sharing tools for when you need to care for yourself and get back that motivation to teach.
In this episode, I'm talking about my return to the podcast and giving you a super easy tool to use when you need to let someone else do the "teaching."
Let your students take the reins and ease your workload by using podcasting in your classroom. Students of all grade levels can work independently or in groups to create a podcast episode OR listen to podcasts in your classroom and work on listening comprehension. Both options can be relevant to your lesson or a topic of their choosing. 
Today, Heather Campbell from @seriousgiggles joins the podcast to discuss how teachers can use podcasting in their classrooms.
Printables from SeriousGiggles are available on Teachers Pay Teachers, and e2e members even have exclusive free access to the materials.
