We often say “you can’t pour from an empty cup” but forget to talk about the flip side: All that is possible when your cup is full. When educators have the capacity to tend to their own wellbeing, everyone benefits from that abundance. We are all connected. #edusky #edchat #edleader #k12

Leaders: If you want to foster a positive, supportive culture for your team, you can’t forget that it starts with you. When you prioritize your well-being, you give others *true* permission to do the same. Happy Monday, #edusky!

Leaders: The best way to get better is to fumble the ball from time to time. Make mistakes, learn from them, get stronger, rinse & repeat. The best thing you can do for your team is lean into the discomfort of messing up and model what it's like to grow from it.

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.” Katie Reed. There’s a lot happening in the world, and it’s easy to feel the burden. Be gentle with yourself. Allow space for your own well-being. It isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. 🧡 #kindness (Picture by Katie Abey)
