Lesson planning is one of the most time-consuming parts of this job, and (infuriatingly) you're expected to do most of that incredibly important work off the clock.

I think a lot of teachers feel like it SHOULD be faster and easier, especially if you've been teaching for a while. It's frustrating to spend soooo long trying to nail just one lesson out of the hundreds you'll teach this year.

I'm talking about this with Jennifer Gonzalez of Cult of Pedagogy on an upcoming episode of the Truth for Teachers podcast.

And, I wanted to tell you about her new course before that conversation comes out, because the timing matters if you think you might want it (meaning, you can get it cheaper right now.)

​The course is called Mastering the Lesson Plan.

Jenn's take is that at a time when teaching keeps getting more challenging and so much is outside of your control, the foundations of a solid lesson plan are timeless.

She says doing it well "isn't luck or magic," because there are fundamental principles for lesson design. And, when you understand and follow these principles closely, your students learn better and you feel more satisfied with your work.

She teaches all of this through more than 20 hours of self-paced video, with a printable workbook for each module. She also plans three full sample units (music, social studies, and ELA) so you can see how it works with real content. There's also a big library of teaching, assessment, and differentiation strategies you can keep pulling from.

Jenn has been releasing the course in stages at an early access price of $135, and she's adding the final module right around the time our episode airs on October 25. Once the course is complete, it'll be $155.

So if this sounds like something you need, you'll get the lowest price by enrolling now, AND you can use the code ANGELA to take another $10 off.

I earn a small commission if you enroll through my link, at no extra cost to you. There's a 14-day refund policy if it turns out not to be a good fit.

Our conversation on the podcast drops October 25, and you’ll hear Jenn and I go through four shifts that make planning faster. You’ll be able to use those tips right away whether you take the course or not.

Enjoy!
