The feeling when you’ve just finished school and are officially on summer break is a feeling unlike any other. You’re sitting by the pool with no alarm clocks going off or papers to grade, and the start of another school year seems so far away that you can’t even see it. However, you know that feeling fades, and other feelings start to creep in and disrupt your relaxing summer break. We call these the stages of summer. So in today’s episode, we’re breaking down the different teacher summer break stages that you go through and how you can thrive in each of them.
