If we don't care for our educators now, we're going to have an even bigger problem on our hands later.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

It's great to keep telling teachers they are strong or resilient, but what they are doing is not sustainable.

We can only ride this out on the backs of teachers for so long before they completely break.

What we need are solutions.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Stop arguing with people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

We need to stop giving teachers more work and more responsibility while telling them to make sure to take care of their mental health.

How about we have reasonable expectations for teachers?

Love this sign that one of my neighbors just planted in their front yard.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

We need to stop glorifying the going above and beyond parts of being an educator that take away from time with their family and at the sacrifice of their mental health.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Sunday thoughts/question:

We are getting to a breaking point. Educators are stressed to the max; whether from creating content, catching up, technology issues, lack of curriculum supports, educators are maxed out. What would help alleviate this. Simply answer in comments.

[Dorothy Webber @DEW0404]

Yep.

[Dorothy Webber @DEW0404]

Exactly.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is important. 🙌

"It took me many years, but I’m finally learning the importance of stepping away from the classroom, planning, and grading so that I can spend quality time with my family and with myself. My students need a physically and emotionally healthy teacher."

❗ 41% of school districts need to update or replace their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in at least half of their buildings to prevent the spread of COVID19.

Request an HVAC assessment to see if your school needs an update: https://t.co/iQzIwSR1tE
