Once Halloween hits, it seems the momentum of the holidays just doesn't stop! In this week's episode, I look at how to avoid holiday teacher burnout and how to calm the classroom chaos that this time of year brings. 

I promise that with these five essential teacher tips, you will transform both your home and classroom environment to be a little more grace and a little less grinch.

You'll learn how to:

  • ✂️ Strategically cut back so you don't go crazy
  • 🕰 Plan for the inevitable chaos (double down on routines & structure!)
  • 🧘‍♀️ Infuse calm into each day
  • 👌 Stick with classroom traditions that work
  • 📲 Communicate clearly with parents

I'll also touch on how to address cultural sensitivity and inclusivity without getting overly stressed or letting parents bully you. And give you access to a FREE RESOURCE appropriate for most classrooms.

Use these 5 simple tips to help you avoid burnout and enjoy the holidays with your students. 🎁
