Episode 21: What to Do After Testing (When Everyone Is Checked Out) | The Edu20/20 Podcast
The Edu20/20 Podcast
Welcome back to the Edu20/20 Podcast… and yes, this is the season finale.
We’re talking about that very specific time of year. Testing? Done. Kids? Done.
Teachers? Definitely DONE.
And somehow, you still have weeks left. This episode is all about what to do with that time-- keeping things meaningful without making it harder on yourself. We’re sharing what we’ve tried, what worked, what didn’t, and how to use this stretch of the year in a way that still feels worth it.
There’s a mix of ideas in here:
• Trying new strategies without the pressure
• Giving students more ownership and voice
• Creative ways to revisit content without it feeling repetitive
• Projects, reflection, and actually building humans (not just finishing standards)
