I'm a 5th grade teacher in Rochester, Minnesota. I started teaching in 2018. I enjoy all things technology in the classroom

As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole?

Teachers' emotional struggles have a DIRECT INFLUENCE on their interactions with students. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help STUDENTS!

@theaieducatorX could you share the quote and source about changing technology from FETC? I think I need to share it for the people in the back.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.

Here is what I am reflecting on this morning based on my coaching work within schools? Why are our people feeling beat down?

My takeaway... Our system is wearing our people down leaving them more vulnerable to feel beat down. In many if not most cases, burnout is not an individual issue, but rather a systemic issue. Thoughts? #Recalibrate
