Episode 116 - Do These 5 Things BEFORE Summer Break to Feel More Organized and Refreshed

The ESL Teaching Podcast

As the summer break is nearing, it seems that time flies faster and faster. Between all of the award ceremonies, field days, final exams, and graduations, there's no space to even breathe. In this season, the desire to put off paperwork and lesson planning for next year is sometimes irresistibly strong, and I'm saying this because I've been there. So in today's episode, I wanted to revisit some tips for teachers that will help not only to finish the school year more organized, but also come back in the fall with a fresh perspective and gratitude for yourself. For taking the time to actually do it. You will hear 5 tips on what you need to do so you can have space in your mind for a truly restful summer.
What you will hear about in this episode:

• Importance of returning to an organized space
• Importance and timing of student rosters and ILPs
• Challenges ESL teachers face with room changes over the summer
• Importance of planning for the first week
