End-of-Year Teacher Toolkit

You’ve done the heavy lifting all year long, now it’s time to close out with confidence! We've rounded up all of our resources to help you finish the school year strong and maybe even get a head start on summer planning. 

Each section of this 'toolkit' highlights resources that fit an end-of-year theme to help you quickly navigate to what you need when you need it.  


Review & Remediation

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.

 

Power Up Your Summer with PD and Start Next Year Strong

From live events to flexible online learning, these resources focus on helping you grow professionally, earn recognition, and step into the fall with fresh energy and direction. In some states, you may even be able to earn a stipend along the way.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Hidden Gems You Might Have Missed

With so much available, it’s easy to miss a gem. View these popular tools you can use throughout the year to level up engagement and student buy in.
