During remote learning, we became more familiar (and dependent) on creating instructional videos. But a perfect five-minute video is no match for even one imperfect minute we spend one-on-one with our students. In this episode, we try to course correct and share strategies for spending less time making videos and more time making magic with students.

Like us, our students have been through a lot over the last two years and many of the traditional expectations we have of them simply don’t fit. Join us as we talk about expectations and how we can adjust them to meet the moment with greater ease.
