Are you setting yourself up for October burnout before the school year even begins? In this annual Beginning of the Year Keynote, I’m breaking down the three massive traps holding educators back and how to fix them with a practical reality check.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why chasing a perfectionist classroom layout leads straight to early burnout (and what to focus on instead)
• How to manage an endless teacher to-do list without sacrificing your homelife and personal boundaries
• Simple strategies to select 2 to 3 educational technology tools with true instructional intentionality
• Key takeaways from my 20-plus year K-12 career and a major announcement in my next EdTech career chapter

Stop letting perfectionism drain your energy. Tune in to build a functional, sustainable approach to the 2026-2027 school year. Buen provecho!
