197. A Teacher Summer Self Care and Recovery Plan That Doesn’t Feel Like Work

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but rest is not a reward you have to earn! In this episode, we’re talking all about teacher recovery in summer, why it’s essential, not indulgent, and how to make it happen in a way that feels good. We introduce the Four Rs of Recovery—Relax, Refresh, Refocus, and Recharge—as a practical framework to help you build a personalized recovery plan. From resetting routines to rediscovering joy outside the classroom, this conversation is your permission slip to take the break you deserve.Prefer to read?
