This week, the End-of-Year Teacher Toolkit is all about things you might have missed. With the year speeding toward the finish line, it’s easy for great resources to slip through the cracks. Whether you’ve been focused on grading, testing, or just making it to June, this roundup surfaces helpful tools that are easy to overlook—but still incredibly useful for wrapping up strong or getting a head start on summer planning.
This toolkit is designed to help you wrap up the school year with purpose, pride, and maybe even a little extra joy. You’ve done the heavy lifting all year long, now it’s time to close out the year with confidence!
WEEK 1
Review and Support
Reinforce the big ideas and help students finish strong. Everything you need for final exam prep review, packing in as much high impact content as you can, one must-use activity per unit, and student-paced Nearpods for supporting students in need of credit recovery.
WEEK 2
Planning Ahead and Thinking About Summer
Start thinking about summer! This is your one stop shop for ideas to help you plan for what’s next. We’ll spotlight professional development opportunities, grant programs, and getting started with planning for school year.
WEEK 3
Re-engaging Students in the Final Weeks
When attention spans wander and energy dips, it’s time to mix things up. This is all about keeping students connected to the content with creative, interactive activities, getting them out of their seat and moving, infusing joy that’s needed during the final stretch.
WEEK 4
Burnout-Friendly Resources for Teachers
Let’s be real. By this point in the year, everyone’s running low on fuel. If you need low-lift, high-impact resources designed to take the pressure off, we’ve got your back. Think Arcade games, mini-units and movies that will keep students engaged.
