Click below to hear ways to restart the year now:
Coming back from winter break is the perfect time to restart and refresh things in order to make the most of the second half of the year. I know this year, and the past few years, have been incredibly stressful and exhausting and the thought of doing a refresh may be overwhelming. I totally get that! I want to help you finish the year strong so I am sharing five easy things for you to restart to make the most of the second half of the school year.
At this point in the school year, you’re likely tired, burnt out, and just want to make it to the end of the school year. But I want you to think about how happy you’ll be in June if you try some of these things now and the rest of the school year goes smoother because of it. When you return from break, I challenge you to restart your mindset, classroom management, attitude, lesson planning routine, and confidence in order to make the most of the year from now until June.

Great podcast! Thanks!
I appreciated the section that talked about changing your frame of mind. I often feel pressed from Jan. to Feb. to get as much practice in as possible to prepare the students for the ACCESS test. Keeping the frame of mind that we are moving forward with every lesson keeps my mind in a better upbeat frame of mind.
Thanks for all the tips. I look forward to them every week.
Letting go of what you can’t control is so difficult but a game changer!!! I think this is one of the hardest things for me but when I practice it, allows for so much peace! Great tips on how to restart 2023! New beginnings!
