Small Teaching Moves, Major Results: Inside Teachables with Cheryl Abla & Lisa Maxfield

In this episode, Adam Todd is joined by Cheryl Abla and Lisa Maxfield, authors of Teachables: Bite-Size Strategies That Make a Major Impact in the Classroom. Together, they dive into a truth every educator knows but rarely has time to unpack: what you teach matters—but the environment you create matters just as much.

Cheryl and Lisa share how their book distills research-informed, high-impact practices into practical, classroom-ready strategies designed for real teachers with real time constraints. From building meaningful relationships with students, to streamlining procedures, sparking curiosity, boosting engagement, and maintaining high expectations—this conversation is packed with ideas you can use tomorrow.

Whether you’re a first-year teacher finding your footing or a 30-year veteran looking to re-energize your practice, this episode delivers actionable insights that make teaching feel more intentional, efficient, and impactful—without adding more to your plate.

If you’re ready for small shifts that lead to major classroom wins, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
