As Teacher Appreciation week ends, understand we have a teacher shortage because we have an attrition crisis. Teachers are leaving in droves because they don’t feel supported, valued, & they are simply burnt out. We need to take care of our teachers more than one week a year.
When your career is over, you will not remember the lessons, the curriculum maps, or the test scores… you will remember the kids and the colleagues. It’s the people that matter.
Amazing experience. Leaving with knowledge, inspiration, and a much needed recharge to move our work forward. Added a new friend to our tribe...thanks @dmendoza7 for your guidance. Blessed for TL friends! @missannamorris@mmking1979@sjtodd71@OhMyGaddArdrey

Teacher, as you finish the week strong, remember your best is ENOUGH! You bring a unique set of talents and strengths that no one else does. Stop comparing! Be You! You’re Enough!
To the people who say it’s all about the kids. Just remember the kids learn in an environment created by the teacher. A teacher who is supported, encouraged and appreciated will create a more positive and dynamic learning environment than a teacher who is not supported that way.
