Today on the podcast is an episode that is really important to me.. Teachers, Enjoy Your Summer Break! And it’s something that I feel really passionately about. It is so easy these days to think that we need to sacrifice our summer break and keep working. Many teachers even admit to going into school to work over the summer holidays.. And this is something that I really want to focus on with you today and help you be able to enjoy your summer break again.. Not spend it working!

What Am I Talking About?

In this podcast episode today, I am talking all about;

• Why you need to be taking time off over the summer.
• The benefits of taking time off over summer.
• Consequences if you spend your summer working.
• My top 5 tips to help you get organized. These will help you to be able to enjoy your summer break – and not spend it working!
• Ways to get organized in advance next school year, so that you can enjoy your summer.

Today on the podcast I’m discussing ending the school year positively. Let’s face it, the end of the school year can be tough, stressful and very overwhelming. And it’s very easy to start feeling really negative and just wishing those last few days away.

But the end of the year is the perfect opportunity for us to reflect and look back on the school year. And there’s no better feeling than walking out of that door on the last school day of the year and feeling positive and happy.

What Am I Talking About?

In this episode I am talking about;

• End of year overwhelm.
• Connecting with staff.
• Memory jars.
• Reminiscing.
• Breakfast club.
• Takeout lunch.
• Compliment circle.
• Ending the year on a positive.

I am so excited today to be sharing my 5 must-do’s for the new school year. I always get asked about what my to-do list looks like for the new school year. And while I do have a list longer than 5 items – because let’s face it, who doesn’t? I do have a priority list of 5 must-do’s that I get done every school year. And I focus heavily on getting these 5 things done before I move onto anything else. And because so many of you always ask this question, I decided to make it into a podcast episode for you.

What Am I Talking About?

• My 5 priorities for the new school year.
• Visuals.
• Classroom displays.
• Communication aides.
• Work, themes and holidays.
• Classroom schedule.
• Saving time.
• Keeping your summer for you – with no stress!
