You’re teaching them how to grow, but are you teaching yourself how to survive?
The "committed / loyal" narrative is a trap. We’re told that if we aren’t the first ones in and the last ones out, pouring every ounce of our souls into our rooms, we aren't doing enough.
But a loyal employee, who never recovers eventually breaks. Your students don’t need a 'know it all'; they need a human being who is present, healthy, and regulated.
The shift starts when you stop identifying solely as a "resource." You are a person to be cared for, not just a tool to be used.
Your worth isn't measured by the pages in your planner or the grades on a screen. You are more than your lesson plans.
Does this resonate with your current week? Drop a "🌱" if you’re choosing to be human today.
