Here's what we're talking about: • DAP as a lens for child-centered teaching • Content versus skills and why it matters • Story-first lessons that anchor meaning • Spiral learning across three-year cycles • Three-step block planning workflow • Light planning with templates and reflection • Holiday rhythm with shorter, cozier blocks • Membership support for seasonal simplicity Use the coupon code COLORFULPLANS to get 50% off The Holistic Planning Pack just for listening to this episode today. 😉 Join the Inspired at Home community Find the Show Notes here Registration for the Taproot Teacher Training 2026 is now open.
