Teaching well doesn’t just mean having strong content—it also means having strong systems. In this workshop, we’ll explore strategies for organizing your teaching to save time, reduce stress, and create a clearer learning experience for your students. Topics include structuring your course in Canvas, streamlining communication and grading, management tools, and adopting simple organizational practices that keep both you and your students on track. Participants will leave with concrete strategies they can implement right away to make their teaching more effective and sustainable.
