Welcome to the ‘Art of Teaching Business’ Podcast, where we explore the world of teaching business education classes. I’m your host, Denise Leigh, a veteran business education teacher with over 25 years in the classroom and a finalist for the 2022 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year award.
I’ll be sharing my insights, tips, and philosophies on how to effectively teach business education to today’s students. Whether you’re a new teacher just starting out or a seasoned educator looking for fresh ideas, this podcast will offer practical advice and thought-provoking discussions on teaching business.
Teaching at full intensity every single day isn’t sustainable—especially as a multi-prep teacher. In this episode of the Art of Teaching Business podcast, I share the strategy I used for years but never told my students about: the Soft Off Day. I explain what a Soft Off Day is (and what it isn’t), why it helped me reduce Sunday scaries and avoid burnout, and how I used low-prep, low-decision instructional strategies to protect my energy while keeping students learning. If you’re looking for a realistic way to work differently—without lowering expectations—this episode is for you.
