Focus on what you can control. Fuck the rest.

A part of Agentic Teachers' vision is to help teachers flourish in their personal lives & feel confident enough in the impact they have as educators, that they can happily switch off from their professional obligations after their paid hours each day. https://t.co/Egk19RGhri

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" sends the wrong message about work.

We should teach kids that who you are is more than what job you do. Work is an activity—it doesn't have to define your identity.

A healthy sense of self is rooted in character, not career choice.

Here's the playlist my daughter and I have started putting together based on her own preferences. Listening to music is a great way to reset your mood, get you out of a funk, and improve how you feel in the long run. #pypchat #teacherwellbeing #Teachers #teachertwitter

Meditation & yoga, any form of mindfulness, yep great! However, these practices should be an optional part of a balanced lifestyle, not a necessary tool just to help keep teachers sane 😅 and chugging along through an insurmountable workload. #pypchat #teacherwellbeing

...and creating a system, culture, and environment that enables and empowers teachers to lead this innovative teaching and learning #InnovatorsMindset @gcouros

@spencerideas OOO I love "The Band" call. For me probably The Clash.

Instead of ruminating, worrying, or overthinking, taking action is always a good way through that

The learning process isn't finished when you acquire knowledge. It's complete when you consistently apply that knowledge.

Many people accumulate information. Far fewer use it to evolve and improve.

The ultimate test of growth is closing the gap between awareness and action.

Instead of bringing in unqualified, low-quality teachers, we MUST improve the quality of our schools and pay our teachers fairly. #TeamLisa

One key aspect of resilience is to embrace the fact that struggle is a normal part of life. #resilience #struggle #teachersoftwitter

Annual PD for teachers:
Help teachers to set & achieve a personal goal beyond teaching.
The positivity & fulfilment generated by achieving a goal, plus the new knowledge & skills, will have a ripple effect on the teacher's school, colleagues & students.

Rituals are important. We make cake for each other's birthday every year (except one, when I bought one last minute😬). This year, my wife didn't have to help me rescue her own cake! #TeacherLife #birthdaycake

The life we lead beyond the classroom impacts the headspace we bring into the classroom. Making your personal life a priority makes you a better teacher. #Teachers #pypchat #flourishing

"When we get a true break to focus purely on what’s important to us, we can turn up refreshed, energised, motivated and enthusiastic for the next term. Teachers who bring this vibe to school, inspire and empower their students." https://t.co/F0kGTJ0xJu
