If you don’t decide who you are as a teacher, your classroom will decide for you, and that’s where confidence starts to slip.Take 10 minutes and define it for yourself: - I am the kind of teacher who… - My students will experience… - No matter what happens, I will always… Write it down and keep it visible, because when things get hard, you won’t have to guess who you are, you’ll already know.

A huge part of endurance is self-care. For today's challenge, try the 5-5-5 Reset. Take a moment throughout the day to try the following sequence. 5 deep breaths. 5-minute break. 5 words of affirmation. Share how you felt after the reset.

Craft a short farewell message you’ll share with your students/staff on the final day. Something that reflects on the year and highlights what you are proud of. It could be a sentence, quote, or mantra that reflects a year that ended how you hoped it would. Type it below!
