The authors of, "High Five to Thrive: 5 Proven Practices to Unleash Your Passion for Teaching" share their strategies to assist teachers to experience thriving in teaching. Their strategies tackle these issues:
- A loss of purpose - Is the passion that once fueled you fading?
- A feeling of hopelessness -Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it’s not enough?
- Unhelpful mindset patterns - Do you ever notice that your automatic thoughts negatively shape your view of yourself, your students, and your classroom environment?
- Neglecting the mind-body connection - the essential link between your thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being.
- A feeling of being disconnected - from work, students, and colleagues
Consider the importance of these areas for your own thriving as well as those educators you support.
