ANGELA WATSON
About this episode

It's the LAST EP of season 16, and per usual, I want to be a little more informal as I close out the podcast season.

I'm sharing some personal reflections and a recap of my projects from the fall. I'll also share a new focus I'm trying for November, and give an overview of my December sabbatical plans.

New course on reversing educator burnout

New book on educator mindset (discounted for the month of November on Kindle, paperback, and audiobook)

You're invited to take a sabbatical with me during your holiday break, and I'll recap some ideas for this. I'll send you off with something important and thought-provoking to consider in the coming weeks — a message of encouragement and call to rest.
