There are two types of teachers. Those who close their computer for the summer and only open it to begin checking their work email a week or so before school starts.  And there are teachers who combine their fun activities and relaxation with learning and catching up on professional development during the summer.  

If you are in the second category, this episode is for you.

I know how important it is to take some time to disconnect and I sincerely hope you do that. I also know how fantastic your brain activity becomes after you’ve had an opportunity to reclaim some headspace. 

Our first series of this summer’s short, actionable, mini professional development episodes on The ESL Teaching Podcast is all about lesson planning.
