At the heart of possibility is change. The passion for change is available to everyone:
Changing the care teachers receive require us to.
– Affirm teachers daily. And in every encounter.
– Create safety for teachers to voice concerns and goodness. A lot of teachers are silent out of fear of being labeled “ confusion, trouble maker, and disruptive”
– Notice when your teachers are tired and sho empathy. It could be work life imbalance, hard classes, extra hours or being new to the profession.
Changing how teachers are cared for should be a national priority.
