We’re at home when we can help teachers see themselves as they are…extraordinary. If you have in-service needs for your teachers, we can help. Contact us so we can to discuss your needs and how we can help.
Every classroom teacher has that story. The one that makes your friends’ eyes go wide and their mouths fall open in disbelief. Is it possible that these stories carry a deeper meaning for us, though, beyond the shock they deliver to those who aren’t in education? Yes. Let’s discuss how a crisis is transformed into a calling if we’re honest with ourselves and open to the larger story of what we do in the classroom.
Do I deserve to feel good about myself? We likely wouldn’t say that out loud. But how many of us have considered that thought at the end of a long day in the classroom. When you don’t feel good about yourself, it can get increasingly hard to make the tough choices that lead toward a healthy life. Let’s talk about how teaching makes it challenging to be healthy, both mentally and physically. Then we’ll look at how to overcome those obstacles and why we all need to start heading in the direction of strength, balance, and peace of mind.
Who is RTE?
