18. 7 Things Teachers Need To Do BEFORE The New School Year


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode! Don’t get me wrong, summer is a time for you to relax, rejuvenate, and take some time to do all the things you didn’t have time for during the school year. However, it can also be an opportunity for you to make your teacher life easier for the future. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 7 things teachers need to do before the new school year.


One of the reasons now is the perfect time to change for the upcoming school year is because of the amount of time you can dedicate to these changes. Most of these suggestions need a plan and time to implement, but will create a lasting impact on both your personal and work life. These changes include:


  • Sub plans
  • Doing an audit
  • Choosing a fresh classroom theme
  • Making sure you have a support system
  • Starting a new habit
  • Creating “you” time
  • Looking at your wins


  • When thinking about how to make things easier for you, I like to think of it this way: do something today that will make your future self thankful. We know that returning back to the classroom can be overwhelming and stressful, but after implementing these 7 things, you’ll not only feel refreshed to take on a new school year, but will help put your in a more positive and grateful mindset.
