3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #107, 26th July 2022

Thinking of quitting being a teacher? Hating Monday mornings when you have to go back to teach? Cannot imagine making one more lesson plan? Hating the thought of making a question paper and grading it? Do you feel the pain of your students? Do you get very saddened by something happening in your student’s life and your helplessness in the situation? Are you constantly taking your work home? Do you not like the idea of professional development? Hope none of this is true for you if you are a teacher, but if any/all of these hold true for you, read on.

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.” Khalil Gibran

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.
