World Health Organisation predict that by 2020 mental health will be the biggest factor weighing on the education and health system... 😮what are we doing to address this?? @PositiveSchools@ClaudiaSannio@seanp68
Dear fellow educators:
Please remember it's ok to cry after a hard day.
It's ok to release after listening about someone else's trauma.
We're human.
We hurt.
We hurt for others.

Several years ago, I was at a low point. I was very discouraged professionally. My brother, who knew I was struggling, was a little discouraged, himself. But he still sent me a note in the mail. A portion of it is below. (This note still sits on a shelf in my office.)
Great educators are not defined by the test scores they generate or the programs they implement. I think their greatness is found in the hundreds of little interactions they have with students every day. They are what will be remembered. They are what make a difference for kids.
Our new discovery centre for L3 rotations. The kids absolutely loved it. It definitely didn’t look this tidy afterwards... well worth it though. @n_puntoriero
Meg fell asleep in class yesterday. I let her. I didn't take it personally. She has zero-hour math, farm-girl chores, state-qualifying 4X400 fatigue, adolescent angst, and various other things to deal with. My class is only a part of her life, not her life. No, she did not use
Good reminder for me during report writing time...I always convince the students they are more than their academic results.....I need to learn that the success of my teaching is also more than the A’s on paper. https://t.co/tZJvhREV6w
