Tim and Andrew were joined by founder of AOE, Jessica Balsley, as they get the inside scoop on what it’s like behind the scenes of The Art of Education, how we are juggling a teaching career and life and why Jessica is debunking that work-life balance myth.
Jessica lets us in on how we can make peace with this never ending struggle. We had a great conversation about learning to find more time in your day both in the art room and at home…. and do it with a smile! We also talked about accentuating what you do best, avoiding teacher jealousy, and how to plan your ideal day.
Also, give a close listen to see who Jessica has booked as a featured presentation for the AOE Summer Online Conference!
