Teachers, I beg you ramp up your self-care now.
Everything about teaching right now feels impossible.
Fully Remote Teaching: Impossible.
Hybrid Teaching: Impossible.
In-Person Teaching: Impossible.
It all feels impossible. And so you are doing the impossible, day after day.
It takes extra support to do the impossible, and with the sheer magnitude of what is happening in the world, you’re going to have to provide a lot of that extra support yourself.
Do what brings you joy, now.
Nap, garden, bake, read, walk, dance, sing, play.
It’s not shirking your responsibilities. It’s taking action to ensure that you will be physically, mentally, and emotionally able to continue to do the impossible.
