5 Quick Wins for Back-to-School Prep (That Won’t Steal Your Summer)


Listen Later

Let’s be real — August sneaks up fast. The to-do lists pile up, caseloads change, para schedules shift, and IEP meetings seem to pop up before you’ve even unpacked your room.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, actionable prep tasks you can tackle this summer — without spending hours in your classroom or losing your well-deserved rest. These are quick wins that can be done in short bursts of 15–30 minutes to give you a major head start when back-to-school season hits.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

✅ Why tiny prep tasks now can save your sanity later
✅ My favorite quick wins that don’t require full-on “summer work mode”

  • Prep your para handbook
  • Update or create templates
  • Build a caseload spreadsheet
  • Create an IEP calendar
  • Build a Basic Back-to-School Checklist
