Winter break is here, but many teachers feel pressured to be productive instead of resting. In this episode of If Teachers Ruled the World, host Leah Cleary shares her honest experience of winter break and gives teachers permission to actually rest.

Learn why teacher self-care during break is essential, not selfish. Discover how to manage the pressure to "catch up" on everything you've put on hold.
