Intentional Teaching - About the program

Want to make the most of your prep times, but...

By the time you actually get one... you're too exhausted to actually get any work done... so you end up scrolling your phone?

Have a pile of grading that seems impossible to get to?

And then it ends up making planning harder... You meant to hand back an assignment before moving on, but it's not done yet, so you have to scramble to come up with something else. And the worst part? When your students ask Èwhen are we getting our project back??"

Feel stuck planning day to day?

Maybe you'd like to have a clear direction in where you want to go, but you can't get to that because you're not ready for tomorrow yet.

And if you're honest...

Maybe you might want to spend more time with your kids, your partner or start a family... actually go to that physio appointment... but there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

If you resonate with any of these...

I get it! I've been there.

Implement the systems that saved me 15 hours a week

When I got pregnant (and very nauseous) for the first time in 2016, I was hit with the realization that I simply couldn't keep working for hours every evening and weekend to get ready for school. I wanted to be able to spend time with my future child AND be a good teacher... but I had no idea how other people did it.

And it makes sense right? Teachers college is all about students, not about how to actually make it a sustainable career.

After lots of learning and some trial and error, I realized what was missing: SYSTEMS.

As a mom, I left school each day at 3:45 or 4pm - effectively spending 15 hours LESS a week on school work... and still maintained strong relationships with my students. I realized that SYSTEMS were the most effective way to get my work done at school while still being a great teacher.

What would 15 more hours a week mean for you?

"When I first started I was stressed, tired all the time, spending too much time at work and really just not enjoying teaching as much as I used to.

Once I was able to pinpoint some of the things that were taking me a long time I was able to create systems and routines to make a lot of them more fluid and significantly less time consuming. I’ve also learned to become much more efficient with my time and my preps which in turn makes sure that I am completing my work faster and it is taking a lot less energy. I’m also able to leave work earlier than before, generally around an hour, which allows me to go home, unwind and spend time doing the things that I love without having to stress about being planned enough for the next day.

Lauren has this way of explaining things that gets you excited about some of the most mundane things. The strategies, suggestions and ideas that are given to you are really effective and easy to apply. It’s also so helpful that it’s done in a group format where everyone shares their thoughts, ideas and stories. ...

In short, this program is a game changer and I’m so glad I decided to take the leap."

The Intentional Teaching Framework is designed to help teachers thrive in 40 hour work weeks. When you can get your teaching priorities done in 40 hour work weeks, you can thrive at school and with your own family too.

It's a combination of tested teaching systems, neuroscience, mindset shifts and research-backed behaviour change strategies that are tailored to you so you can get organized and work fewer hours outside of school, even if you're not "naturally organized" or if you're teaching a new grade level.

You'll still be able to foster strong relationships with your students, make the difference you want to make AND have a life outside of teaching.

I’ll admit it: I used to avoid the office so my admin wouldn’t see me arrive at the same time as my students. When other teachers would chat in the staff room about arriving 45 minutes + before school that morning, I would quietly keep my mouth shut.

Frankly, I didn’t want to arrive that early. I wanted to get enough sleep and I wanted to be able to drop my kid without stressing at daycare!

But I also didn’t want to work hours after school either… I had spent hours every evening and weekend on my teaching before I had kids, but there was no way I wanted to work that long once I had my own family.

I wanted to create systems that would allow me to be a prepared, organized and present teacher with my students, but still leave by 4pm.

I’ve tested tons of different systems to simplify my planning, grading and all the other many little tasks that pop up during a school day done during prep and after school hours. They allowed me to roll in with my students because my lessons were all completely prepped, and they allowed me to plan a month's worth of lessons in less than 3 hours.

Those systems have been refined and tested by teachers just like you over the last 2 years so I know they’ll work for you too!

My name is Lauren McLoughlin (though I’ve always gone by Lauren Monique so my students couldn’t find me online). I’m the founder of the Intentional Teaching program to help teachers thrive in 40 hour work weeks.

I’m going to teach you how to apply it to your own teaching practice too, regardless if your students are in grade 1 or grade 11… and even if you don’t consider yourself to be a naturally organized teacher.

“I've noticed results in terms of my energy levels. I've changed my structures and routines so that I'm able to use my time more wisely, cross things off my to-do list and ultimately help keep my energy levels up without feeling burnt out like before.

There is nothing to lose, just gain! Whether it's reflecting on your practice, working on limiting beliefs, working with Lauren in one-on-one settings or in a small group with other educators, I found there was always either a new insight, perspective, mindset, theory or strategy to learn, think about or implement into my practice every week!”

FAQs

Can my district cover the cost of this program?

While it's not guaranteed, many teachers have had their schools, districts or unions provide funding for the program. There is an additional module within the course to help you with your application.

Can I register in a few months instead?

I'm honestly not sure at this moment how long the program will continue running for! I'm currently evolving my programs and I can't say for sure how long this will be available for. If you're interested, I would recommend registering now.

I don't teach middle grades. Is this still applicable for me?

I know that just because we're in one grade this year, doesn't mean we'll be in the same one next year... or in 5 years! I want you to invest in principles that will work regardless of the grade level you teach. We will provide examples and support for primary through grade 12 so that you can use these principles throughout your career.

What if this doesn't work for me?

After working with dozens of teachers, I'm so confident that it will work for you that I'm offering a guarantee: If you attend 2 1:1 calls, implement the strategies in the program and you don’t save 5 hours or more a week, you will get a full refund on your investment.
