Summer break may mean time off from the classroom, but for many teachers, the desire to make a difference in children’s lives never takes a vacation.
If you’re an educator who sees untapped potential in your students, kids who are bright, capable, but held back by fear, doubt, or self-criticism, then summer is the perfect time to focus on building confidence in kids.
And YES, you can do that outside the classroom, in a way that’s flexible, fulfilling, impactful, and can generate income too!
Why Confidence Matters More Than Ever
We all know that confidence is a cornerstone of academic success. But it’s so much more than that.
Confident kids:
- Raise their hands, even if they’re unsure
- Bounce back from setbacks like poor grades or social drama
- Handle transitions, like starting a new grade, with greater ease
- Are more willing to try, fail, and grow
And unfortunately, many kids lose that confidence over the summer. Without the daily structure of school, some children retreat into themselves or carry unresolved self-doubt from the previous year.
That’s where you come in.
How Educators Can Empower Kids in the Summer
Your teaching skills don’t need to sit idle until the next school year. In fact, summer can be your most impactful season yet!
Here’s how:
- Host confidence-building workshops (in-person or online)
- Run small group summer programs focused on mindset and resilience
- Offer one-on-one life coaching to students who need extra support
- Integrate mindset mentoring into summer camps or enrichment programs
This isn’t about test prep. It’s about life prep.
It’s about helping children believe in themselves, take ownership of their choices, and return to school ready to lead, not just follow.
