DESCRIPTION:

In this summer episode of Helping Teachers Thrive, Tem encourages teachers to truly prioritise their wellbeing during the holidays. Reflecting on a conversation about teachers continuing to work while away, Tem acknowledges that everyone has different needs, but reminds listeners that rest is something they have earned. The episode also previews upcoming August webinars designed to help teachers start the new academic year with confidence, clarity and strength, while inviting listeners to suggest future topics.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Rest is essential, and teachers should give themselves permission to enjoy their summer break after a demanding academic year.
• Working during the holidays isn't inherently wrong if it genuinely supports your wellbeing, but it shouldn't take over your time off.
• Better planning and time management during term time can reduce the need to work evenings, weekends and holidays.
• Starting the new academic year strong begins with looking after yourself first, and the upcoming webinars aim to support teachers in doing exactly that.

"You deserve this time. You've worked so damn hard over the last academic year for your students."

"The main most important thing right now in the holidays is to live your best life because you deserve to."

"Please look after yourselves and put your wellbeing first."
