Episode 33 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

Teaching multiple preps doesn’t have to mean constant overwhelm. In this episode of the Art of Teaching Business podcast, I share my SMART Systems Framework—a practical approach I created after teaching five, six, and even seven preps while balancing family life and limited planning time. I break down how simplifying lessons, using modular and repeatable structures, aligning content to real-world business skills, and protecting your time can help you teach smarter, not harder. If you’re a high school business teacher looking for sustainable lesson planning systems that actually work, this episode is for you.

Here is the FREEBIE mentioned in this podcast.

In this episode of the Art of Teaching Business podcast, I share five (5) realistic lesson planning systems I used as an overwhelmed, multi-prep business teacher. I talk about how to plan faster, reduce decision fatigue, reuse what you already have, and create flexible plans that work even when time and energy are limited. If you’re teaching multiple preps with little to no planning time, this episode offers practical strategies you can use immediately to streamline lesson planning, lower stress, and get your evenings back—without sacrificing quality instruction.

Episode 31 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

Teaching at full intensity every single day isn’t sustainable—especially as a multi-prep teacher. In this episode of the Art of Teaching Business podcast, I share the strategy I used for years but never told my students about: the Soft Off Day. I explain what a Soft Off Day is (and what it isn’t), why it helped me reduce Sunday scaries and avoid burnout, and how I used low-prep, low-decision instructional strategies to protect my energy while keeping students learning. If you’re looking for a realistic way to work differently—without lowering expectations—this episode is for you.
