176. Coping With Exhaustion In and Out of the Classroom: The Strategies Every Teacher Needs May 11, 2023

Show notes

Right now it's either the end of the school year and you have about 2 weeks left or you still have a month + left with students before they head off for summer break.

Either way, this time of the year has a way of sucking all the energy right out of your body. You start waking up late, your dropping the ball on your routine, and you've really started to look for simpler ways to keep kids entertained for the last 10 days of school.

But let's be honest! You can't help yourself.... why? Because this time of the year not only signals that you have a hand full of days left, it also comes with more paperwork, more assessments, more to-dos, and more behaviors.

So how do you deal with this time of the year? Well, in this episode we talk about how to cope with exhaustion in and outside of the classroom.
