I know, I know, it’s summer. We have earned these precious few weeks to rest, relax and restore ourselves. While that’s true, as educators, we are Lifelong Learners. We can use this time not only to get some much-needed vacation, but to empower ourselves through summer reading, some professional development, maybe attending a conference. We have plenty of opportunities that won’t take away from our down time and still allow us to grow and prepare for the next year ahead.
