As I was planning my summer episodes for The ESL Teaching Podcast, I hit a wall. In the spring I was on a roll…sharing tips and resources for EL and regular education teachers. In June you heard episodes all about lesson planning.

But then I thought to myself…I am on summer break and I would love to chat about other things that are a huge part of the teacher’s life. And that is the long and glorious summer break.

It can be so open-ended that it can be dizzying, but there are some things that are a MUST for a teacher during the summer. So I’d like to share my take on what it’s like to be a teacher and what are the three most important things we can do during this long summer break.

What you will hear about in this episode:

• Things that are a MUST for a teacher during summer break
• The reasons teachers get a long break in the summer and why it’s needed
• The need to let go of a school year in order to get rest for the new year
• Taking time to reset and take a break from the go, go, go mentality
• Take the time to do what you want and love
