Common Cause: Your current state of mind
At times we can all be our own worst enemy right?
Facing the overwhelm of an overfilled schedule that can't handle even one more task... and then two
are added.
Knowing that there is always more work to be done, no matter how late you stay or how full your
teacher bag is as you head home.
Understanding that no matter how much you care about your students and their well-being once
they leave school you can't ensure their needs are met.
Being so tired that the fatigue makes you just want to shut down some days.
It piles up, it takes a toll - and we can stop seeing all the good around us and all the joy that is
possible.

By taking stock of our own strengths within the field of education we
can learn to rely on the traits and abilities that will help us the most
to become more resilient educators.
We reflect on the challenges and successes of our lessons, how the
culture and climate of our classrooms are evolving, and the best
ways to meet the needs of our classes. Reflection allows us to make
better choices, improve our practice, and be better educators.
However, school days are busy and we rarely take the time to turn
the mirror around to ourselves.
Dr. Tiffany Carr has created
a quick and fun quiz that
can help you identify your
teacher strengths.
