Apparently, many teachers are sufferers of a condition called ‘High Functioning Anxiety’. Below are the symptoms.

Appreciating others
Offering help to others
Intentional listening
Saying I’m sorry when wrong
Being kind

What else?

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Students deal with a lot: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, loneliness, insecurity, cutting, abuse, custody disputes, neglect, and suicide. If you work in a school… thank you. Thank you for caring about the whole child. Thank you for advocating for kids. They need you.

Teachers if you are burned out, here’s 5 questions to reflect on regularly for your own health:
* is it my stress or other peoples stuff
* am I empowering or enabling
* am I sacrificing too much
* is my sense of purpose realistic or superhero level
* am I self caring

Good educators understand the meaning of KINDNESS. 😌

Please don’t claim to care about the mental health of students then mandate standardized tests in the middle of a pandemic.

Some students need you to believe in them until they believe it too.

Taking away specials/ electives such as Art, Music, PE, etc. to add more content for testing is the same as taking away recess. It may sound like a good idea, but many children come to school for these classes and removing them may remove their joy for learning.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Sometimes kids come to school to learn.
Sometimes kids come to school to be loved.
Many times kids come to school for both.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Imagine if we paid teachers and funded schools equal to the level of expectations and blame society places on teachers and schools.

Some teachers may need more tech or curriculum, but every Teacher needs more inspiration and appreciation right now.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Administrators who are unsuccessful, are so because they don't make relationships & staff morale a priority. Even if you didn't need a pat on the back doesn't mean it's not effective. Support, encourage, and appreciate your staff. Affirmation is powerful.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Right now, I think teachers need more TLC than they do PD.
