Happy holidays everyone, and welcome to Teachers Off Duty! This week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Anna Kowal, and Tyler Jackowski are going to be sharing how they are getting ready for this upcoming holiday season. 

Now with the holidays coming up, gift giving is such a hard tradition to navigate, and it's even worse in the classroom. Do we get gifts from students? How much should we spend? What about the teacher down the hall, should we get them something? Would getting everyone a gift card be enough or is it just lazy? Don’t worry, we're going to be sharing our tips and tricks to navigate this tricky situation. 

Now of course it's not all about gift-giving anxiety, we're also currently getting ready for our holiday parties. Of course we don't want to leave anyone out, so see how we set up the perfect holiday party that is inclusive to all of our students’ and fellow teachers' cultures. 

So make yourself some hot cocoa and put on your ugly holiday sweater, because we're starting the holiday season this week on Teachers Off Duty!
