In this episode, we wanted to continue conversations that we have started to have in our past episodes. We have touched a bit on the wide range of expectations that teachers tackle day in and day out, as well as how we need to practice mindfulness and take care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually to ensure we are the best teachers we can be for our students. But, we heard a new term that really rang true for us, compassion fatigue. We are very excited to learn from our guest and expert today, Jamie Valderrama, on the topic of compassion fatigue and what we can do about it as teachers. Let’s take a listen!

Also, as always, Meredith and I LOVE your feedback, so tweet us any thoughts or ideas on Twitter @GCU_TOTC. GO LOPES!
