We talk about pouring from an empty cup, but maybe the analogy should be a low fuel light or better yet a check engine light coming on. Educators, if you don't pay attention to the signs, it could be detrimental.

Teachers, it's not just students who need words of affirmation, but colleagues and admin, and even parents need them as well. Connecting and building strong relationships takes the whole team.

Asking teachers to do β€˜ONE MORE THING’ and not removing anything else from their plate doesn’t help anyone. β€’It doesn’t help Teachers! β€’It doesn’t help Test Scores! πŸ™„ β€’And it certainly doesn’t help STUDENTS!

There seems to be a mantra of fail quick, fail often. This may be true in innovation. However, there are times when you need to fail slowly or seek to avoid failure, such as in certain relationships, or implementing certain strategies. Some failures should not be quick or often

If I ever wronged you, I am sorry. If I ever was very negative around you, I am sorry. If I ever made you feel not worthy, I am sorry. If I ever made you feel not wanted, I am sorry. If I ever made mistakes with you around, I am sorry. I am still working on my masterpiece!

Teachers, we talk a lot about trauma with students, but many of you may be experiencing trauma and even more so this year. Lets all have an extra dose of grace and patience with each other. And check on each other too. Sometimes an ear that will hear makes a big difference.

Teachers All In means giving your best but it doesn’t mean giving your best 24/7. No one is probably going to tell you to take time for your self to take care of your self. You have to care enough about yourself to do it.

We say relationships before anything in education but it’s true in life too. If 2020 has reminded us of anything, it is to never take relationships for granted and know the family and friends in our lives are greater than any gift.
