People in helping professions sometimes have the urge to help everyone. . . except themselves. It sounds counterintuitive but to be a good teacher you’re going to have to be a little selfish.

Episode 4: Self Care

You are not a great teacher. Yet. You will be. But not for a long while. Right now, you don’t know what you’re doing and it probably shows. You need some help. There’s a situation you could have handled differently. There’s some time wasted. You probably don’t feel like yourself and it’s exhausting.

Yet, there will be a day when you will be a capable teacher with a toolbox of skills that you’ll be able to competently employ in a multitude of situations. There will be a time when people will look to you as an expert in the field of education. It hasn’t happened yet, but it will.
