Navigating the Back to School Season: Tips for Teachers to Stay Motivated and Energized

by Interdisciplinary

As a teacher, I must admit that although I love teaching and working with students, the first few weeks of school can be challenging. Many districts, including my district, give teachers a week or two of professional development and new teacher orientation. The two weeks before school starts often will include planning and decorating classrooms, collaborating with team members, and the grand finale…Day One! Once Labor Day is over, many teachers will begin engaging students until Thanksgiving Break in November. That is almost three months without a long break to recoup and re-energize for students. To help all teachers, regardless of the grade level, prepare for the long haul between Labor Day and Thanksgiving break, I have some tips for success!
