6 Teacher Wellness Tips for a Quarantined Summer

Episode Summary

It's been a rough school year to say the least. In this episode, I help you think through how you will rejuvenate, recover, and recharge this summer so you can come back ready in the Fall semester.

Episode Notes

I walk through six tips on how to ensure your summer is a time to recharge, including:

• strategies to wean yourself off of social media a bit
• what to think through when developing your evening routine to get more sleep
• how to start small when it comes to exercising each week
• where to start when it comes to preparing for the fall semester
• practical advice on how to structure your own professional development this summer
• ideas on creating connection with others, from those in your household, to your family and friends, to your extended network

Also, this will be my last podcast for the summer! I'll be back in August with more episodes to help you middle-school STEM teachers create meaningful and memorable experiences for your students!
