🌞 Follow the Sun: Embrace “Soft Planning” This Summer

Do you find yourself already dreaming about next school year—even before this one wraps up? That’s natural. But what if instead of succumbing to pressure, you embraced soft planning—a gentler, values-first approach to envisioning your ideal year?

In the latest Why Edify newsletter, Jeremy Jorgensen invites teachers to step into summer rest with intention:

• Feel the energy you want in your classroom—before the to-do lists begin.

• Tune into your body’s signals—when your chest tightens or your shoulders relax—as guideposts for wellbeing.

• Choose three classroom values (e.g., calm, connection, creativity) that then help shape every decision—from curricula to culture.

There’s even a “Five Things to Try” challenge—perfect for summer self-reflection.
