37 years in teaching without burning out?
@cmsdreambig.bsky.social's secret:

Relationships > lesson plans
Be flexible, not rigid
Find one positive thing daily
Avoid toxic lunch rooms

Veteran teacher wisdom you actually need.

Daily post #6 - surround yourself with people who make you feel good about who you are, not people who tell you who you should be.

Daily post #5 - As a 35 year veteran educator I’ve seen my share of β€œnew ideas!” They come and go, with the slightest of name changes. Guess what? Relationships with your students and colleagues has never changed. It’s stood the test of time and always will. Pitbull costume with two colleagues.

Daily post #4 - We all know exercise is a healthy quality of life extender. But the type we do matters. Strength training should be part of everyone’s regiment. The Science is clear on the benefits. Picking up weights is a game changer.

Daily post #3 - Think about your daily habits. What are they? The question seems simple, but our answers shape our lives and those around us. Love to see two or three daily habits you do each day.

I’ll start.
1. Yogurt/apple for breakfast
2. Stretch
3. Positive thought before leaving the house.

2nd post! Avoid the noise. It’s so easy to get caught with the β€œnext thing!” We all do it now and then. Instead, focus on the people and habits that make us happier and healthier. Spread the word!

First post, and a simple one! Choose to make a person’s day better, not worse. Lift them up, don’t push them down. Have a great day.
