#ZAedu A5: Not losing sight of what's important - relationships. Whether that's with family, friends or students/colleagues.

[Lisa Parrock @lisaparrock]

#ZAedu A4: The value of stories is immense. Sharing stories from different worlds and characters with our ss helps them relate to so many different types of people and situations. Fiction helps us understand reality. #stories #empathy #englishteacher

[Lisa Parrock @lisaparrock]

#ZAedu A3: Grace with each other. Putting a little less pressure on everyone (including yourself!) is key.

[Lisa Parrock @lisaparrock]

#ZAedu A2: Trying to empower our new student council with skills to think differently so that can create opportunities for community-building in our school. Not easy!

[Lisa Parrock @lisaparrock]

@JeanetteViljoen So so true! Otherwise we tend to experience emotional burnout.

@MsMorrisTeach @yasmotani A1: During remote teaching I did a weekly check-in form, and in class I try to greet each student by name as they come in and chat a sentence or two throughout the week #ZAedu
