At the end of any project, it feels right to pause and reflect. The end of the school year is no different. We’re all ready for a break and some relaxation, preferably by a pool, with something cold to sip. It’s also important to take a little time to reflect on everything you did over the course of the past school year. The process of looking back on your accomplishments isn’t selfish, it’s the key to improving the way you do anything in the future.

So, that’s what we’re doing today. We’re looking back on the last 10 episodes of this podcast and sharing our favorite highlights and lessons learned. We’ve interviewed 16 people this year and every single one of them left us some nugget of brilliance to think about long after the episode finished. We hope this episode reminds you of all the good stuff you’ve done this year and all the ways you can continue to support your students and each other in the years to come.
