How To Have a Purposeful Teacher Summer (2026)

About this episode

Kelsey Sorenson discusses how teachers can have a purposeful summer instead of just recovering from burnout.

Burn out all year. Crash all summer. Repeat. Sound familiar? This episode breaks that cycle. Kelsey is back with a tried-and-true archive episode on how to have a purposeful teacher summer, not just one where you're recovering. She covers the two summer mistakes most teachers make, how to set real intentions for your time off, and why this isn't a planning problem... It's a burnout problem. With a fresh 2026 update layering in her Inside Out Teacher Framework, this one hits different. Listen now, then grab your free spot at the Summer Refresh event on June 30–July 1 at educateandrejuvenate.com/summer2026.
