This year has been a challenge. I am excited about the opportunity to learn and grow each day, but it is sometimes a painful and slow process. I know I will exit this school year as a stronger person and a better teacher. Some days are just hard. These questions have been on my mind a lot this year.
- Do we realize when a teacher in our building is struggling?
- What do we do to help them?
- Do we realize when teachers/staff are close to burnout?
- Do we take the time to truly listen?
- Are we too wrapped up in our own lives and problems?
- Do we take the time to connect as human beings?
- Do we show that we care (if we in fact actually care)?
- Do we realize that a teacher in our building is thinking about quitting?
- Do we understand that good teachers struggle?
- Do we say enough positive things?
- Do we truly pay attention?
- Do we think about our interactions with those around us?
- Are we too busy?
- Do we realize that a teacher leaves right away because they don't want to cry in their classroom?
- Do we know who needs help?
