Teachers: Invaluable to Society, Deserving of Support
In the past year, teachers have experienced a whirlwind of change. While the everyday challenges of teaching have always been, the pandemic exacerbated and compounded them with even greater stressors that no one could have imagined.
Perhaps you are:
-
Experiencing learning curves that lead to anxiety
-
Fearing you will miss non-verbal communication from your students
-
Unsure if you’re collaborating effectively with your colleagues through virtual platforms
-
Having some difficulty separating the work environment from the home environment
-
Concerned about selecting essential information for your students while keeping the state standards in mind
-
Uncertain about a variety of things, including returning to the classroom
