We're so proud of @ArkTeacherCorps, which offers an accelerated teaching path at a time when many Arkansas schools are facing severe teacher shortages. A new $3.6 million Walton Family Foundation grant will help expand and strengthen the program. https://t.co/4EqQOlr8Rm

The Arkansas Teacher Corps recently shifted from recruiting newer college grads to helping teachers already working but who aren't licensed. It now offers its intensive training and ongoing coaching virtually, too. https://t.co/2Rmfc3z8uC

Q6: What can or should be added to the school environment to enhance the promotion of self-care for students?
#SelfCareSeptember #Q6

[Brandon Lucius @bglucius]

@teachplusar A5: long term we need higher pay + better benefits + accessible medical care (physical AND mental)...but a more immediate step would be confidential wellness coaching and mental health services for adults in the building

Q5: What can or should be added to the school environment to enhance the promotion of self-care for educators?
#SelfCareSeptember #Q5

[Brandon Lucius @bglucius]

@teachplusar Q4: I would say to start small with whatever feels most urgent or necessary and is easily done. It's better to build momentum and not feel overwhelmed by adding too much too fast. Also remembering to "change" or "remove" as much as we "add" #SelfCareSeptember

[Teach Plus Arkansas @teachplusar]

Q4: What is one quick tip or piece of advice that you can offer for a new teacher about practicing self-care?
#SelfCareSeptember #Q4

[Teach Plus Arkansas @teachplusar]

Q3: What are some specific things you do to set boundaries?
#SelfCareSeptember #Q3

[Brandon Lucius @bglucius]

@teachplusar A2: when I feel my heart start racing = box breathing (4 counts in, hold for 4, 4 out) + sensory grounding (5 things I see, 4 I can touch, 3 I can hear, 2 I can smell, & 1 I can taste) #SelfCareSeptember
