Hey there! In Ep 06 of the Teach Speech Podcast, we discuss systems. From organizational documents to a more organized pantry, we will address how establishing systems or routines can help make life more efficient and even more FLEXIBLE.

Systems help us create a roadmap for a semester-long course, organize how we communicate with students, and even lead to stronger and more relevant SMART goal-setting. So as you tune into this week’s podcast, let’s get our color-coding and organization-loving ideas flowing to establish time-saving systems both in and out of the classroom.
