During this Free PD session, Teacher Retention Specialist David McDuffie gets RAW on his experiences with the first of the 3 temptations teachers go through in the profession. Temptations are used to get positively passionate educators to lose their inner drive, stay stagnant, become apathetic about teaching, ruin their reputation, and/or dishonorably end their teaching career. These powerful, culture-altering strategies can be employed by school staff supervising Generation Alpha children & teens. The impact of listening: As a Black Educator, my trials aren't related to my ethnicity, but more related to what I carry on the inside that prompts me to seek help rather than isolate believing most staff is against me. As a Male Educator, I understand that I may be tempted more than most, since the agenda is for children to grow up with disorder, confusion, chaos, and without the blessing of understanding their purpose on Earth. As a Husband/Father, the importance of praying in the evening and/or early morning are pivotal to keeping the progress the family has, because demons are seeking for gaps in protection. As a Christian, I'm reminded that it's my actions of prayer/fasting/giving thanks/meditating on the word, not just words of past faith that protect me from satan's advances. I need to fight spiritually instead of thinking many issues are simply physical.   Objective: We can & will control our flesh in school Biblical base: Matthew 26:41 | Word of the week: Self-Control Freshman Year | Trimester 1 | Prologue BONUS episode -1a   Would you like LIFE FRUIT more often? youtube.com/@lifefruitradio | facebook.com/lifefruitradio | instagram.com/LiFEFruitRadio RESOURCES Mentioned in this Episode: "Teaching In Victory" Group  → email lifefruitradio@yahoo.com Apple Podcast → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gen-alpha-k-8-strategies-last-teacher-school/id1768649213 ******* Write brutally HONEST feedback on Apple Podcasts ******* so that other teachers can find the support they need to grow through their circumstances and become Sigma in their school district, but most importantly stay sigma in their home! *** Invite the holy spirit in your school for more individual coaching.
