Educators: Succeeding in #virtuallearning does not require failing to:
-Set boundaries
-Care for your own families
-Keep your sanity
-Find joy during the week
Don’t light yourself on fire to keep everybody warm.

A tip to share with parents. If your child struggles with a subject, give them 15 minutes to play or exercise before you focus on that subject with them. It will refresh them, burn off energy and allow them to focus.
Let’s never judge each other based on how we taught or currently teach. We all have our own talents, passions and skills to connect w/ students. You can walk in 5 different classrooms & see 5 different teachers being amazing for 5 different reasons! That’s teaching!
Teachers, words of affirmation for your students can be powerful. Admin, words of affirmation can be powerful for teachers too
* I’m glad you’re here
* I believe in you
* you have talent/ purpose
* I’m proud of you
* say their name/ everyone loves hearing their name
When you find yourself saying “This is not what I signed up for...” remember this...yes it is, you just didn’t realize it was a part of what you signed up for. Push through the struggles and focus on the students...the true thing you signed up for.
The legacy of great teachers is not usually found in the lessons they taught to their students… but in the relationships they built with their students.
Sometimes, we feel like we are thriving. And sometimes, we feel like we are just trying to keep out head above water. But whatever the day… we will interact with students and colleagues… which means we WILL make a difference. Every day counts!
