The fact that so many teachers, who always dreamed of being a teacher, are leaving teaching because the education system has become so unbearable and they are so undervalued should concern everyone.

Teachers should not have to work well beyond contracted hours (unpaid) just to get things done. Then we wonder why there is a 50% attrition every 5 years. This year will be off the charts if we don’t change expectations. We need state and district leaders to step up for teachers.

5 tips to reduce stress of staff. 1) if asking to meet with them, let them know why. 2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff. 3) praise a lot more than you critique 4) less meetings 5) continual encouragement and support

If a school staff feel seen, heard, known, loved, and valued, they will ultimately be empowered to do the same for their students. As Emily Paschall says, “When teachers are supported, kids are supported. It’s as simple as that." That is the culture we want in our schools.

Education is not student centered, but it is relationship centered. Principals who build relationships with teachers will get their best & teachers who build relationships with students will get their best.

For teachers to be “All In” in 2023 doesn’t mean they have to be at school til 7 every night. Doesn’t mean they need to take school work home with them every night. Doesn’t mean they need to work every weekend w/ planning or grading. This isn’t All In, this is Burned Out.
