If students aren't in school, then teachers should be able to teach from home. 42% of people work from home, yet teachers are expected to go to an empty school to teach? School districts, trust your professionals!
Admin, some of your teachers need mentoring and extra support. But they all need:
1) feel safe
2) emotional connection/ relationships
3) feel respected
4) attention/ appreciation
5) value within the team
6) freedom for innovation/ creativity
7) self care
We talk about pouring from an empty cup, but maybe the analogy should be a low fuel light or better yet a check engine light coming on. Educators, if you don't pay attention to the signs, it could be detrimental.
#DotDay2020 was different this year but we still had a lot of fun! A huge thank you to @NMGibbs_NJ teachers and families for helping to make it special for your kids!
