We’re teachers, and this is a teaching podcast, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have interests beyond the world of education! We want to be a consistent reminder to you that as much as we love nerding out over curriculum, and as much as we love what we do, teaching can’t be the only thing we do.We talked about setting intentions inside episode 185 and shared a free Intention Journal that you can download. Setting intentions is going to help gently push you to think about, and follow through with, things that will help you grow in your personal and professional life.Today’s episode is a continuation of our effort to pull you out of the curriculum for a few moments and just be people! We’re sharing some of our current favorite things with you including items that help with our health, books, travel planning, cooking, and more. What are some of your favorite things during this season of life? Share with us on Instagram @bravenewteaching!Links to all of our favorite things are in the show notes: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode187 Resources:Backwards Plan with BNTFree Intention JournalFree 30-day Audible trialJoin Happy Hour!Amanda’s Amazon StorefrontMarie’s Amazon StorefrontJoin Curriculum RehabConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingFollow Marie on Instagram: @thecaffeinatedclassFollow Amanda on Instagram: @mudandinkteachingLet us know what you think!

Instead of just listing the episodes out for you to go back to (although you could do that too!) we’ve pulled out specific pieces that we think will serve you in your planning endeavors. If you’re ready to dive into planning mode and want some accountability, join us for our free five-day challenge, Backwards Plan with BNT!

Happy 2024! It’s a new year, so we thought we’d try something new to help you really get the most out of 2024. Today we’re debuting The Brave New Teaching Challenge, and it’s all about setting intentions for your year.Here’s the best part about this challenge. We’re doing it together one step at a time. We know from firsthand experience that we are better teachers when we are in community with other teachers who get it and when we push ourselves a little bit outside of our comfort zones. We have six intention challenges for the entire year; one for every two months. That means this is a no-pressure situation. You have plenty of time to get this done alongside your busy schedule! All the details of the challenges are laid out in this free Intention Journal. These intention challenges are meant to push you (in a gentle way) to think about things that are going to help you grow in your personal and professional life. And remember, you’re not in this alone! We are doing this in real time with you. In fact, it all starts in today’s episode. We’ll walk you through the first challenge for January and February.
