We’ve been discussing lately how to have a well-balanced summer as a teacher. There needs to be equal parts relaxing and preparing for the next school year. But if you’re anything like us, your summer to-do list is so long and scrambled that you don’t even know which tasks to start with to make the biggest impact. So, in today’s episode, we’re sharing some practical steps to help you prioritize your teacher tasks this summer.

Summer is just so close; you can feel it! This got us thinking there are two types of teachers in the summer. You either don’t think about school and don’t do any prep over the summer, OR you jump right into planning and creating for the next school year to avoid the stress and overwhelm in the fall. And while most teachers fall into either type, neither approach is effective nor helpful for you. So, in today’s episode, we’re sharing how to effectively plan your teacher summer so that you’re ready for school and have a true break.

As teachers, we're always trying to find different ways to improve our instruction, activities, lessons, and classroom management to better benefit our students and their learning. We also love gifting our future selves, so why not combine the two? Taking some time to reflect at the end of a school year can be extremely beneficial in order to have a better year in the fall. So, in today's episode, we're sharing some end-of-year teacher reflection questions to ask yourself in preparation for next year.
