"Hello, and welcome to what will be the final episode of Teaching with Valor. I’m your host, Don Fessenden. Today’s episode is a bittersweet one. We’re here to reflect, to express gratitude, and to bid farewell to a project that has meant so much to me, and I hope, to those of you who have joined me on this journey.
From the very beginning, Teaching with Valor was a labor of love.

It was about celebrating the incredible work of teachers, tackling the challenges they face, and inspiring one another to be the best we can be for the students who depend on us. Over the course of this podcast, we’ve explored topics ranging from classroom management to teacher wellness, from building strong student relationships to navigating tough conversations with parents.

Each episode was created with the hope that it would make a difference, even if only in a small way."

"Welcome to the Teaching with Valor Podcast, where we focus on strategies that empower educators, inspire parents, and create impactful classrooms. I’m your host, Don J. Fessenden, and today we’re going to explore one of the simplest yet most powerful habits you can develop to transform your teaching day: starting each morning with a prioritized to-do list.

This isn’t just about jotting down a list of things to do. It’s about creating clarity, setting the right focus, and approaching your day with intention. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a well-prioritized to-do list can be your secret weapon for staying organized, reducing stress, and maximizing productivity."

"Welcome to the Teaching with Valor Podcast, where we explore the strategies and insights every educator needs to thrive in the classroom and beyond. I’m your host, Don J. Fessenden, a lifelong educator and proud veteran. Today, we’re diving into a powerful framework that can change how you approach your ever-growing to-do list. It’s called the Eisenhower Matrix, and by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to use it to prioritize your tasks, reduce stress, and reclaim your time."

"So here’s my challenge to you: Spend the next week using the Eisenhower Matrix. Start every morning by reviewing your tasks and categorizing them into the four quadrants. At the end of the week, reflect on how this approach impacted your productivity and stress levels.
And I’d love to hear about your experience. Drop me a message or tag Teaching with Valor on social media to share how the Eisenhower Matrix is working for you. Together, let’s make teaching a little more manageable and a lot more meaningful."
