Teaching to the TOP - A podcast by Teaching on the Double - Thursdays

2020 has been a trying year for so many people and in so many ways. During times of uncertainty, frustration, and constant change your mindset can struggle to be positive on any given day. We have also felt a level of sadness and irritation this year, but we have also found strategies and coping mechanisms that have aided us to stay afloat and get things done.  In this episode we are sharing our struggles with staying positive but also what has worked for us.  Bridget’s StrugglesMichelle’s StrugglesWhat Worked for BridgetWhat Worked for Michelle The commonality is knowing and re-embracing our WHY. For so many of us the why behind becoming a teacher was to make an impact in our students’ lives. They are WHY we come to work, WHY we bury ourselves in professional development and creating lessons. Know your WHY. Embrace your why and you will find that you are able to get through just about anything.  Find our Digital Teacher Planner at TeachingontheDouble.com SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWAre you subscribed to our podcast?
