Welcome back friends, I'm your host Barbara Scully. Today we are kicking off season two of the Connect FCS-Ed podcast. If you have been following the show for a while, thank you for supporting... The motto of the show is that we are better together. We are starting Season 2 talking about Mindset Matters. Our mindset, it truly matters. We went through a lot the past 15 months, I know, we all know we will be juggling a lot of traumatized students when we all get back into the building, my high school, our incoming freshmen class consists of 893 students. I'm freaking out in here, these students are not prepared or equipped for high school, they've not been in school for the last two years, they didn't even get an opportunity to grow during middle school, they were too busy babysitting younger siblings, and for the most part, I'm just gonna say it, avoiding their educational responsibilities. Not all of them, most of them. But yeah, are you traumatized? Just remember, you are a passionate and resourceful educator, and you also need to take time for yourself to nurture a healthy mindset.
