In this final episode of 2025, we’re doing a Teaching Together take on Spotify Wrapped and reflecting on the moments that really shaped us as teachers this year. The minutes we have spent in teacher mode, the top emotions, routines on repeat, and pedagogical “genres” that have defined our year. As Grayce would say, this episode is all about cognitive closure — reflecting, putting 2025 down gently, and giving ourselves permission to properly rest and recover before kick-starting the 2026 school year.

We had a lot of fun reflecting on the year that has been, and we hope that this episode helps you find some cognitive closure of your own before resting, resetting, and heading into whatever comes next.

See you next year!
