You can’t pour from an empty cup says @BethHouf in NASSP chat. It’s ok to take time & find ways to focus on our own well-being and self-care as we serve our staff, students & community. @NASSP

Dear Teachers,
You’re impact will not be cancelled, the love you have for your students will not be cancelled, your ability to inspire will not be cancelled, your caring nature will not be cancelled. Teachers, I promise that everything you did this year impacted those kids.

Teaching last week felt chaotic. This week I'm going to try to hold to a schedule. Immediately after creating this, I felt sooo much better.

Shout out to the pro tips I heard on @HumResPro's podcast to help me think this through!
