A8: I’ve been enjoying a nightly game of Cover Your Assets with a favorite 11 yr old... and losing every time. Playing games with loved ones keeps me humble... 😅 and I enjoy the time with family! #WasatchEdChat
@AliciaPower12@duke_distefano A8 - I think it is super important to recognize the mental health needs of adults as well as students. "If you don't feed the teachers, they will EAT the cihldren." We can support each other as well. #wasatchedchat
Thank you so much to everyone who participated tonight. Another amazing #WasatchEdChat A special thank you to Jen, Jodi & Alicia. Such a pleasure to have such amazing experts with us tonight.
A8 I give myself permission to make mistakes as long as I promise to learn from them. I listen to music, read, garden, surround myself in nature, take time to appreciate the good in my life. #wasatchedchat
Work out! I have to do it or I get cranky. But honestly, spending time with my own kids is my favorite thing to do. Just makes me happy. #WasatchEdChat
@duke_distefano I love this question and see it as vital for us to be the best we can for the kids! Hopefully each and every adult in the school knows that they are just as important as the kids! we have resources in the counseling office for teachers as well. #wasatchedchat
A8-I'm a huge fan of detox time. I don't need a huge amount of time, but I definitely need some. When I come home from school, I take time to just sit and be before moving on to other responsibilities. Able to make it happen most days. Makes me better. #WasatchEdchat
@duke_distefano A8: new habit for me, But I recently have started enforcing my own bedtime at a reasonable hour and it is amazing how much calmer and happier I feel about teaching when I get a solid 8 hours of 💤’s #WasatchEdChat
@duke_distefano A8 - I have an amazing Diet Coke addiction and will physically leave the school to go outside into the fresh air and get my daily refill. Also, lots and lots of hugs!! #wasatchedchat
My personal motto is to radiate love. I want every student in my presence to recognize what it feels like to be loved for who they are. When they are around less safe environments they will have something to compare to. #wasatchedchat
