But...I have found that podcasts are a form of self-care that is easy to manage. They can also be a great form of professional development or a much-needed brain reset. What’s more, I can listen to them while I’m cooking dinner or even when I’m working on a blog post! #englishlanguagearts #professionaldevelopment #podcastsforteachers Visual Learning Strategies, Inquiry Based Learning, Learning Stations, Instructional Strategies, Student Learning, Learning Activities, Differentiated Instruction, Professional Development For Teachers, Effective Teaching
