    I worry about my students, perhaps too much. I struggle with how much to help sometimes. I know for my career to be sustainable, I have to be less self-sacrificing. But it's hard

      I guess my #selfcare homework is to investigate ways to be less self-sacrificing. Any suggestions welcome!

        “If we want healthy teachers in our classrooms, schools must acknowledge the importance of things like staff appreciation, involvement in decision-making, vacation time, mental health awareness and professional development training on ways to build and value self-care.”
