Feeling boxed in by scripted lessons and copy-paste curriculum? You’re not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing four simple, actually doable strategies that bring creativity—and student engagement—back into your day, without piling on extra prep. 🙌
I use these strategies every week. They are tried, tested and work!
We’ll cover:
✔️ How to use music to transform the vibe of a lesson
✔️ A drama strategy so quick it fits in your reading block
✔️ A movement break you can use anytime, anywhere
✔️ A visual art idea that doesn’t require an art cart
Whether you’re trying to reach more learning styles or just bring some joy back into your teaching—these creative moves will help you love teaching again (even with a script in hand).
Try just one of these ideas this week and let us know how it goes inside the Inspiring Teachers Facebook group. You’ll be surprised how much a little creativity can shift the energy—for you and your students.
