🎓Don't Overdo it.

TL;DR

Don’t Overdo it

How are you?

No, for real.

How. are. you?

Teaching is a stressful profession.

I remember regurgitating a stat about the only profession that makes more decisions in a day than teachers is an air traffic control person. No idea if it’s true, but what is true anymore AMIRITE???? jkjk

But for real, your mentals matter.

Find something that allows you to check out and relax.

Whether it’s reading or tiktok or sports cards or law & order svu, make sure it’s in your calendar.

You’ve earned the right to relax.

P.S. Don’t stay late. My mom did that for years. Just because you leave on time after work, doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you also care about yourself.

RESOURCES: Student Mental Health Check-ins

Are you doing a check-in with students daily to see how they’re feeling?

If not, I got a couple resources that both have that option. I’d recommend taking a glance at it at the beginning of class (while they’re doing their Bell Ringers).

How does this help my classroom?

  • Get a look at if a student isn’t feeling it

  • Can prevent misdirected student frustration

  • Requires students to reflect on things that are positive in their life!

THE RESOURCES:

Seriously.

We gotta check-in on them.

They’re humans, too.

It’s important to know where they’re at.

TRAINING OF THE WEEK: Teacher Mental Health Best Practices

I had the chance to sit down with my good friend and professional therapist, Dr. Kevin Atkinson. We talked through different tips and tricks for teachers to be their fullest selves. Then, the second half, I talk with my friend and fellow teacher, Lindsay Fell, about practical stuff we’ve done to get our heads right.

Please, take some time to listen to this on your drive home.

Get some ideas,

Stay good.

You deserve it.
