Dear school leaders,
It’s summer. 😎

Even if you’ve got two weeks left to go, the break is in sight. You can let your mind wander to the days ahead when you can sleep in. Ignore email. And not think about next school year (that’s a July problem!).

You’ve earned this downtime.

So in the glorious days of June, unplug, decompress, divert your mind, and dive into a curated list of good reads and podcast listens the EdWeek staff has curated, just for you. Most of the picks aren’t directly about education, but we included some things relevant to leadership, job satisfaction, and understanding the broader culture. Several are just meant to entertain you and take your mind off the pressures of work.

Have a great break!
