Welcome to today's episode on Get a Life: 4 Opportunities to Expand Beyond Being "Just a Teacher".
My guess is that over the past year, you have heard the word “resilience” and “resilient”. We're also guessing that you have heard about the importance of being resilient and building resilience in yourself and in your students. And when Iwesay resilience we mean being stronger in the face of adversity, being more determined, courageous, creative, and optimistic. All of which have been super easy this year! (Awkward laugh :) ) Nope. Not at all. Even the thought of resilience can seem impossible.
As hard as it might be to even think about building resilience or being a resilient human being right now, building resilience is actually one of the primary keys to getting a life that expands beyond being “just a teacher.” Today, we are talking about building all forms of resilience - mental, emotional, social, and physical. All of which we need to cultivate not only inside of our school building but also outside in our day-to-day life.
Marigolds, before you convince yourself that it is way too much work to build resilience, don’t worry. We’ve got you. Today, you will hear about how simple it can be to build mental, emotional, social, and physical resilience and how it is scientifically proven that you can do very little and still build tons of resilience.
