Episode 111 - 5 End of the Year Hacks to Finish the School Year With Sanity

The ESL Teaching Podcast

I don't know about you, but every year around April, I feel like my energy is drained. I can no longer focus, and the feeling of inadequacy begins to creep in. The students have absorbed as much as they could. We all are just counting the days until that summer break when we all can recharge and look at things from a different perspective. But we have to somehow get through those last weeks of school. I want to share some of the end of year hacks that I use to feel like I'm still making a difference in my teaching and student learning and, what I do to not lose my own sanity in the process.

What you will hear about in this episode:

• Shifting focus from new material to reviewing past lessons
• Strategies to handle waning student focus and increased energy
• The impact of changing environment on teacher motivation and creativity
• The importance of self-care and maintaining personal well-being
