You may be aware of the safety guidance that says in a plane crash, you need to put your oxygen mask on first. The same applies in teaching. It is perfectly professional to be selfish and put your needs first. By doing so, you are being an even more awesome teacher for your students and team.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Ways that you can be professionally selfish

• The benefits of filling your cup first

• Why it is your responsibility to protect your teacher wellbeing

Unfortunately, no one will do this for you. You are the one to take action. Take time out this week to explore incremental changes that you could make to begin putting your oxygen mask on first.
