Teachers, I'm calling you out. I know that it's easier to pour yourself fully into work and ignore your own needs - believe me I've been there. But students deserve your best, and if you want to be at your best you have to invest in yourself. It's time we put teacher wellness at the top of our priority lists for back to school. Healthy Teachers = healthier classrooms = healthier students. YOU MATTER. You can't pour from an empty cup. So this year, set yourself up with some important boundaries for work and role model self-care for your students. We can only expect them to do the work that we also would do ourselves. Here is a checklist for you to keep close and remember what matters most - YOU! This would also be an amazing list to give your students the first day - putting our self-care first is NOT selfish but a form of self-respect.
