Educators do have a nice amount of breaks throughout the year, but none as wonderful as summer break – maybe not for the reason you think.

#8weeksofsummer

Summer break is the period in the year where you are not concerned about “your (20-150) kids” in quite the same way. It is a break in owning a classroom full of students and a chance to direct your focus inward at yourself as an educator.

The Prompt:

Potential Professional Growth

Reflecting on the past school year, what is your biggest area for professional growth going into next school year? 

The Rules:

Have a Blog: You may blog on a traditional blog or use Facebook; anything with an independent URL for each post.

Write & Include: (1) This at the start of your post: “This post is week 1 of 8 in the 8 Weeks of Summer Blog Challenge for educators.” and kindly link that sentence to https://wp.me/p4cW8a-2AD – the home post for this challenge. And (2) the hashtag #8weeksofsummer in any social media shares of the post.

Comment on my Prompt: Post a link to your blog in the comments of each of the 8 blog prompts in a timely fashion (We are on vacation, and you may not even know which day it is, so let’s say within two-ish weeks of the post).
