In this episode, Chrissy talks about the tension educators face as they work to balance their personal and professional lives. She shares:

  • personal experiences leading her to believe that current teacher workloads are unsustainable

  • the toll heavy workloads take on teachers and the school community, based on 6 years in an instructional coach role

  • when and how she discovered The 80/20 Rule, or Pareto principle, which is a “universal truth” stating that typically 80% of results come from just 20% of the action

  • how applying the 80/20 Rule in school settings can help teachers decrease the number of hours worked without sacrificing student learning

  • the challenge educators face as they determine which 20% of actions to prioritize in order to maximize outcomes for students and their own time
