3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue # 65, 5th October 2021

From the time schools shut down in 2019 for pandemic, educators across board have shown courage, creativity, and determination in helping their students and colleagues through the most difficult time of their lives.

This collective experience has not just changed us as students, parents or educators but has dramatically altered the way we apporach learning and education now. These changes, whether good and/or bad—will impact school education for years to come. it would be great to hear some educator voices now on what they think, how they would like to see the future and engage with transacting learning with their students. Educator workload being one of the top of my mind that I hear from teachers. Next comes how can we support teachers who understand and bear the trauma that their students faced during this pandemic. How are they supported? who supports them? When a doctor or a nurse loses a patient or a police loses a colleague, there is a support system however ineffective or partially effective it is. What about teachers? They feel for their colleagues and students and suffer and support their loss too. How is a teacher supported so she can support those in her charge? What do you think?

Two Thoughts of the Week

“Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time.  My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.” ―Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” –Robert Brault

One Video of the Week

Teachers emotionally support our kids — but who’s supporting our teachers? In this eye-opening talk, educator Sydney Jensen explores how teachers are at risk of “secondary trauma” — the idea that they absorb the emotional weight of their students’ experiences — and shows how schools can get creative in supporting everyone’s mental health and wellness.

Sydney Jensen is a ninth-grade English teacher at Lincoln High School in the epicenter of America’s heartland: Lincoln, Nebraska. Lincoln is one of the nation’s top cities for refugee resettlement, and students at Lincoln High speak more than 30 languages. 

Jensen also serves as an instructional coach working with new and veteran teachers to provide instructional support and mentorship. In recognition of her work in the classroom and the school community, Jensen is the 2019 Nebraska Teacher of the Year. She is a passionate advocate for increased mental and emotional wellness supports for both students and the teachers who serve them.
