For many of you, today was your first day back in the classroom after a delightful spring week (or maybe two) off. Your students could fall at either end of the spectrum: tired, mopey, and unmotivated -OR- wound-up, scatterbrained, and all over the place. Either way, it can be tough to settle back into the swing of things. The last stretch of the school year is officially upon you, and not only are you faced with keeping rambunctious students focused and motivated, it’s just as important (if not more so) to keep yourself motivated. After all, your students definitely pick up on your vibe!
Well… we found an article for that: How Teachers Can Stay Motivated After Spring Break by Janelle Cox on TeachHub.com. It offers a lot of great tips and supporting ideas for teachers to help center themselves and keep on track. Small self-adjustments can make a world of difference to the end-of-the-year craziness. For example:
- Getting enough sleep
- Maintaining a routine
- Having a positive attitude
- Finding inspiration
- Rewarding Yourself
Check out the article for more details and advice, and enjoy the rest of your spring!
