I'm just going to shout it into the void: There is not a teacher shortage. There is a SALARY SHORTAGE. There is a WORK AND LIFE BALANCE SHORTAGE. There is an EMPATHY SHORTAGE. There is a BEING TREATED LIKE A PROFESSIONAL ADULT shortage. I said what I said.

This was do great to be a part of! All the panelists rocked

Who else is joining Aria Fiat, PhD and me in this Mid-America MHTTC well-being challenge? Tag you’re accountability partner and don’t forget to take today (Sunday) off! 😊 🌱 ☀️ 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼

Happy #MaytheFourth! 😄 For today's mental health challenge, identify two or three instances where you displayed resilience today. Take a moment to praise yourself for bouncing back in that moment. #mhttcbyebyeburnout

Connections with others are critical for overcoming challenging situations. 🫂 This week, our Burnout Busters talk about the importance of relationships with Denesha McGhee-Hill, an RN who has been treating COVID-19 patients since February 2020. Listen: bit.ly/BurnoutBusters…

#mhttcbyebyeburnout just had to use this myself after some difficult clinical work

And it's been a system lacking support for years. COVID was the diathesis stress test. And we need to reduce that stress. Where are our policy leaders at? Support efforts from the top down by 1) prioritizing well-being & 2) deimplementing mandates & tasks, + so much more.

I incorporated this into a break in between sessions today while talking to a friend by being playful in conversation. Nice to make a few bad jokes and get some good laughs

The fact that I can use play as a means to deflect the intensity of therapy for littles & listen to the underlying need or hurt or behavior function bubble up from that security. And I get a dope drawing for my office out of it. Using music for mindfulness. #mhttcbyebyeburnout

I'm going to rope in my practice partner Hannah West, PhD, BCBA #mhttcbyebyeburnout

It was a pleasure to be a part of these webinars. What Joseph Hedger has written here are great starting questions & considerations for those who seek revolutionary improvements in the way we systemically honor & support educators and their health.

Folks. We have changes to make in the structures & cultures of our #healthcare institutions to make them a healthy place for healthcare workers. If you are a leader OR coordinate wellness initiatives for your organization, sign up for this free event! bit.ly/Organizational…

"There is no scale on X. X is super important. Here we develop a scale, & our validation study show it has decent properties. However, we obviously don't share our scale. Nor tell you where to get it. Nor rules about its use." How👏does👏this👏still👏get👏published👏in👏2021?

It's been a blast getting to know and hang out with the Fresh Professor on this show. Stay tuned for more as we make moves in the world of education, mental health, and American society at large ✌️

I see lots of well-intended efforts to promote teacher well-being during these times but most are missing the mark because they are not addressing the root causes. Just like we need to tailor solutions to the root causes of students’ needs, the same needs to occur for educators.

Looking for research comparing frequencies of various behavior functions. How common is self-stimulation, whether general pop or neurodivergent, relative to obtaining a tangible? Is there any way to determine this with any sort of general trend?

And continuing SMART Center's goal of advancing measurement of org #impsci constructs in schools, here's a new paper in Implementation Research and Practice (IRP) on the reliability/validity of the School Implementation Climate Scale (SICS), led by Andrew Jordan Thayer, Ph.D..
