Vacation with my students in mind? Isn't the whole point of a vacation to get away from work? Yes. It is. But, do not forget that teaching is about more than just dusting off the text books at the end of the summer and cracking them open day one to get down to preparing for the test. Good teaching requires creativity, drive, purpose and so much more. So, here are five of my top tips for what to do while on vacation so that you have some great materials when you sit down later to plan an amazing lesson that exposes your young minds to new places, people and experiences.
