Top 10 Things Teachers Do During the Summer!!

#1: Get Away From It All A teacher has to be “on” every day of the school year. In fact, sometimes a teacher has to be “on” even outside of the school setting. It is imperative to take the summer vacation and do something completely away from school!!

#2 Try Something New Expand your horizons. Take up a hobby or enroll in a course away from your teaching subject matter. You will be surprised how this can enhance your teaching in the coming year. Your new interest may be the thing that connects with one of your new students.

#3 Do Something Just For Yourself o Get a massage. o Go to the beach. o Go on a cruise. o Do something to pamper and take care of yourself. o Taking care of body, mind, and soul is so important to having a fulfilling life and will help you recharge and restart for next year.

#4 Reflect on Last Year’s Teaching Experience Think back over the previous year and identify your successes and your challenges. While you should spend some time thinking about both, concentrate on the successes. You will have greater success improving upon what you do well than focusing on what you did poorly.

#5 Be Informed About Your Profession Read the news and know what’s happening within education. Today’s legislative acts could mean a big change in tomorrow’s classroom environment. If you are so inclined, get involved.

#6 Maintain Your Expertise You can always learn more about the topic you teach. Check out the latest publications. You might find the seed for an excellent topic review.

#7 Choose a Few Lessons to Improve Pick 3-5 lessons you feel need improvement. Maybe they just need enhancing external materials or maybe they just need to be scrapped and rewritten. Spend a week rewriting and rethinking these lesson plans.

#8 Assess Your Classroom Procedures Do you have a tardy policy? What about your late work policy? Look at these and other classroom procedures to see where you can increase your effectiveness and decrease time of task.

#9 Inspire Yourself  Spend some quality time with a child-your own or someone else’s.  Read about famous educators and inspirational leaders.  Check out inspirational books and movies.  Remember why you got into this profession to begin with.

#10 Take a Colleague to Lunch It’s better to give than to receive. As the school year comes to an end and another one approaches (in a few months) it is important for teachers to know how they are appreciated. Think of a fellow teacher who inspires you and let them know how important they are to students and to you -take this person to lunch!

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR THE STUDENTS OF TEAGUE ISD THIS YEAR!! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. SEE YOU ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR FOR THE RIGOROUS PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
