          • 37: Sending out an S.O.S.

            The ebb and flow of highs and lows is no stranger to an educator. There are certain times in the school year that are more stressful and anxiety provoking than others. There are certain times in a teacher’s career that feels more downhill than up. Those are the moments where sending out an SOS to a trusted colleague and mentor is a sign of strength, not a death sentence. Tune in to hear an inspiring story from a real teacher ebbing and flowing as we speak.

            Quotables
            • Everyone has different issues but our common denominator is we all have issues
            • The quicker you allow yourself to deal with what’s happening, the quicker you open yourself up to solutions and support
            • Sending out an SOS is not a sign of defeat or lack of strength. It’s a reminder that you are a human being who can only give and do so much.

              • 36: An Educator’s Anthem

                If we put as much energy and emotion into cheering on our students as we do in supporting our favorite sports teams, we might be able to create a culture of joyful achievement that could completely change the trajectory of child’s life. It’s simple really… cheer for the individual that needs it most- our nation’s kids.

                Quotables
                • How can we go absolutely out of our minds crazy for NFL games but become as silent as a librarian in the classroom?
                • Its not really what we say that drives our students, its our enthusiasm behind what we say.
                • No matter if a student attends a low income or high income school, they deserve the opportunity to learn in a safe, inspiring space.

                    A day in the life of an educator is like jumping into a double dutch whirlwind making it almost impossible to stay afloat let alone add anything extra to the mix! But, educators are people who have goals, dreams and ambitions. How are they supposed to learn and grow in ways they want to when they can barely keep up in the hamster wheel of meetings, paperwork and data crunching? Tune in to hear how you can get ahead without getting behind and click here to get a free goal planning resource.
