Ep 013: A School Where Teachers are SUPPORTED and APPRECIATED
Have you ever DREAMED of working in a school where the teachers are Supported and Appreciated? It may seem like a school like this doesn't exist BUT it does... Chatting with Kissie Montalvo, a teacher at Great Expectations Early Learning Center, in Sierra Vista, AZ was SO refreshing and exciting! It was a great reminder that, even when life seems too hard and overwhelming, there are amazing people out there who are lifting, encouraging and SUPPORTING one another. And when LEADERSHIP is supporting teachers in this way, school culture shifts in a MAJOR way and the trickle-down effect is massive. Imagine a place where TEACHERS get massages and TIME during the day to reflect and re-sent mentally and emotionally... Imagine a place where KIDS are learning emotional management skills AND their teachers are consistently modeling these skills for them... As a parent, I could only HOPE that my children's teachers always feel supported and valued because I know how important their overall well-being is to setting up a safe environment where their students can TRULY thrive.  I'm so grateful Kissie is sharing her story with us - the story of what it's like to work for a director and in a school community where RESPECT and WELLNESS is a priority. If you're a teacher and you're frustrated at your current situation, PLEASE listen to this episode and hold onto HOPE that you, too, can find a place where you are treated with respect and wellness is a priority.  If you're an administrator, please listen. If there is ONE idea you can take away to better support your teachers, AWESOME!  ✏️__________________________✏️ To learn 3 EASY Ways for Better Teacher Self-Care, click here!
