The strongest person in the room—

Is the one who stays calm:

We often let our emotions take over.

When we react, we feel:

❌ Less in control
❌ Less productive
❌ Filled with regret
❌ Drained by conflict
❌ Disconnected from others
❌ Stressed and overwhelmed

Responding in the correct ways leads to:

🟢 Higher emotional intelligence
🟢 Improved decision-making
🟢 Increased peace of mind
🟢 Strong relationships
🟢 Control
🟢 Clarity

Use my sheet to respond with calm.

Choose your response.

Own your outcome.

Build a life of peace.

Build a life of power.

I love leaders who focus on their teachers/ staff, especially during high stress times such as end of semester, conferences, and approaching holidays. Seek ways to help them out too.

Why Are Teachers So Tired All The Time? 😴

Research shows we make about 1,500 decisions a day! The constant requirement to ‘be on’ becomes DRAINING to our brains and bodies. It is called ‘Decision Fatigue’.

This explains a lot!

🎓 We are wasting the resource of our special education teachers if we limit them mostly to helping students complete work. Their skills can reach so much farther when they are in the role of co-designing instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter
