A colleague recently reminded me, “Everyone takes everything way too seriously.” As educators, we sometimes face all the challenges and experiences at once. Let’s say the quiet part out loud: THIS WORK IS MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING. At times, I’ve felt completely alone, wondering where to turn or when I’d see the light at the end of the hallway.We all come from different backgrounds—where we grew up, where we went to school, and how we teach. Yet, we are all Connected in Learning, Connected in teaching, and Connected as educators. Together, we are never truly alone.Let’s change the narrative and start a positivity train, one comment at a time. November is a time for gratitude and Connection—with our loved ones and with each other.Take 5 minutes to fill out one of our two forms and simply answer one or both of our monthly questions: What does Connected Learning mean to you?Who are you thankful for or who has made an impact on your educational journey?
We will share these answers through our newsletters and social media. Help us, help others in feeling the positivity amongst a time when burn out is so high.
