Before your summer PD, ask these questions to reflect on your school year

Have you ever come back to that one week of teacher prep time feeling like it’s just NOT enough to really help you mentally and instructionally plan for a solid year? Then once we get into the day-to-day hustle, it’s impossible to catch up, let alone get ahead! This leads to that slow-burning-candle vibe, which ain’t it if we want to stay passionate and be our best teacher selves.

The solution? Intentionally plan for how you will rest, recharge, reset, and refine your teacher self this summer. Grab a notepad or the free notetaking guide, and let’s get into it!
