A1 We finished 1st semester at winter break. Many of our Ts feel refreshed & energized following winter break. #ILedchat

MathEdJax Jan 9 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: rest and rejuvenation can help prepare the mind #iledchat

JoveStickel Jan 9 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1 I think it allows Ss and Ts to recharge and seek knowledge and other interests they may not have a chance to in school #ILedchat

AKReinking Jan 9 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1: recharge, plan, engage in personal interests, reconnect with family during downtime #iledchat

A1 Taking a break helps us recharge, find our passion for ed once again and reset for new year #ILEdchat

MrWawczak Jan 9 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1: Take time to enjoy other things in life. I love my job and can spend a lot of time w/ it where I sometimes ignore other things #ILedchat

ERTOlson Jan 9 @ 10:09 PM EST

A1: A much needed recharge, time to reflect and regain balance, & time to gain appreciation for what is and plan for what is next. #ILedchat

polonerd Jan 9 @ 10:10 PM EST

Sometimes taking that break gives us that time we need to catch our breath. Need to use that time to reflect too. So powerful #iledchat

VWitherell Jan 9 @ 10:10 PM EST

A1: Ts recharge and regain passionate drive for edu, Ss unwind and get a mental break/boost. #iledchat

Q1: What are the benefits for students and teachers in taking a break from school? #ILedchat

robert_schuetz Jan 9 @ 10:10 PM EST

Q1.1 Several of you mentioned recharging - how does one recharge? Suggestions please. #ILedchat

AKReinking Jan 9 @ 10:10 PM EST

Yes! I get to travel on time off, which I love but ignore during the school year! #iledchat

A1.1. For me, recharging included more time to read & write. #ILedchat

AKReinking Jan 9 @ 10:11 PM EST

Read what I want to, travel, catch up on binge watching shows, family #iledchat

Q1.1 Several of you mentioned recharging - how does one recharge? Suggestions please. #ILedchat

WillCounty92 Jan 9 @ 10:11 PM EST

A1. Breaks always allow me the chance to sit back and reflect--to gain perspective. Also provide special time with my own kids. #iledchat

B_KOL Jan 9 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1: Rest. I felt like August up until break was a nonstop whirlwind. Nice to have a moment to slow down. #iledchat

memayer21 Jan 9 @ 10:12 PM EST

Teaching and learning is exhausting...breaks allow for recharging, refocusing and reflection for all involved #ILedchat

kristiebenson20 Jan 9 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1: Recharging for me is getting the chance to reflect and prioritize. #iledchat

polonerd Jan 9 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1.1 - Spending time away from deadlines. Reading books for enjoyment & even education, but not because I have to. #iledchat

misterabrams - Moderator Jan 9 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1.1 Refocus on the important things! Family, friends, love, education. Engaging and interesting instruction for students #iledchat

B_KOL Jan 9 @ 10:13 PM EST

Finished several just for fun books and caught up on some great shows on Netflix. #iledchat

In reply to @AKReinking

ERTOlson Jan 9 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1.1 Read a non-edu book, take a nap, play with your own kiddos, vacation, be spontaneous, cross of items on a bucket list, relax! #ILedchat

kathyamelton - Moderator Jan 9 @ 10:14 PM EST

I agree! That time with the whole family doesn't come as easy as the kids get older, & I love the opportunity to be together. #iledchat

In reply to @WillCounty92

robert_schuetz Jan 9 @ 10:14 PM EST

Sounds like we make the most of our breaks. Do you think it's important to let kids get a complete break from school? #ILedchat

carmelhealth Jan 9 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1.1 Read for pleasure, enjoy family time, get rest, workout, catch up on charge. Basically put my brain on 'standby mode' #iledchat

In reply to @misterabrams, @JoveStickel

JoveStickel Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2 I would love to see more short breaks and maybe one month long break this would help S with retention in my mind #ILedchat

AKReinking Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2: I think year round school (3on1off) would be better for retaining knowledge, but all schools need air conditioners then... #ILedchat

polonerd Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2: Does calendar put focus & importance on semester & traditional grades? Would we focus on learning if there's no 'end' point? #iledchat

ERTOlson Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2: I wouldn't mind exploring a balanced calendar- 45/15, 60/20, 90/30. I see a benefit to having more intermittent breaks. #ILedchat

carmelhealth Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2 I taught in the UK for 12 years. Summer break was shorter, plus there were mid-semester (half-term) breaks. #iledchat

VWitherell Jan 9 @ 10:19 PM EST

A2: I think there could be a lot of great things about a year-round calendar, like 3 mo on then 3 weeks off. Burnout is real! #iledchat

A2: Might not be popular thought but summer break just seems so long. Shorten that. Give a few more 1-2 week breaks during # year #ILedchat

robert_schuetz Jan 9 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2 How does this sound? Year round - 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 4 days f-2-f, day 5 meet virtually. #ILedchat

B_KOL Jan 9 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2) I would like to see a later start to the school day. #notamorningperson #iledchat
