## Resource

September doesn't have to feel overwhelming. In this episode of Miss Estruch Teach & Tell, I share three practical ways to start the new school year with better systems, stronger boundaries, and less stress. Rather than spending the summer creating endless new resources, I explain how tools like Claude AI can help you improve the lessons and schemes of work you already have, why planning with SEND in mind benefits every student, and how reflecting honestly on last year can help you avoid burnout before it starts. In this episode we cover: How to use AI to improve existing lessons and schemes of work Why Claude works well as a teaching planning partner SEND-first lesson planning that supports all learners Small classroom changes that improve accessibility and behaviour Why reactive planning creates unnecessary workload Reflecting on last year's challenges before September begins Setting realistic teacher boundaries you'll actually stick to Building systems that make the whole year easier Whether you're an ECT, classroom teacher, middle leader or Head of Department, this episode is designed to help you start September feeling prepared rather than overwhelmed. If you're looking for practical teacher workload tips, evidence-informed teaching strategies, AI for teachers, SEND-friendly planning ideas, and sustainable teaching habits, this episode is for you.
