Time to Teach

         In this episode, I discuss the importance of not doing everything yourself. It's normal to want things done perfectly (which is why we often decide to just do things ourselves), but it's too taxing to try do everything. Instead, we need to include others in the house and classroom responsibilities. Listen to find out how to arrange responsibilities at home so you aren't the only one doing chores, as well as how to get students, TAs, and even your grade-level involved with at-school tasks and responsibilities.
