Every Minute Matters

In this episode, we dive into the high-impact mindset of Every Minute Matters, a core Teach Like a Champion technique that reframes how we think about instructional time. Listeners are guided through a simple calculation to reveal how even small daily time losses—just five minutes a day—can add up to nearly a month of lost class time over the school year. The episode offers practical, actionable strategies for tightening routines, sharpening transitions, and maximizing the start and end of each lesson. For teachers, it’s about building a classroom culture where time is valued. For coaches, it’s about helping educators reclaim those minutes through intentional planning and feedback. Every minute truly adds up—and in this episode, we show you how to get them back.
