We know that while teachers technically have the summer off that doesn't mean that there isn't work to be done. The summer is an ideal time to engage in professional development and grow your teaching practice, rest and recharge for the year to come, and engage in summer planning so you are ready to go those first few weeks of school. We have created resources to support you to maximize your summer whether that means engaging in self-care, learning something new or planning for the months ahead.
