Special Educators Resource Room Podcast: Real Talk for Special Education Teachers

BONUS: Your Teacher Summer Break isn't a Syllabus

Jennifer DeBrosse

Everywhere you turn, there’s another summit, webinar, or workshop calling your name. ✋ While professional development can be powerful, your summer break doesn’t have to become one big to-do list. In this bonus episode, I’m sharing a heartfelt reminder that your time off isn’t a syllabus—and how to make space for rest and growth without the overwhelm.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why it’s okay (and necessary) to be selective about summer PD
  • My go-to “one thread” method for intentional professional growth
  • What I’m currently juggling behind the scenes (spoiler: it’s a lot!)
  • Free PD options I’m part of—including a summit session and evergreen webinar

✨ Whether you’re in full recharge mode or feeling the urge to prep for next year, this episode will help you move forward with intention.
