questions for educators to consider
Being an educator is one of the most noble and selfless careers. It is also one of the most challenging. With all of the demands and pressures from state and district levels, teachers are finding it more and more difficult to do what they are good at and what they love doing - teaching and making a difference in students' lives.
- Are you making a point to connect with your students in order to know what your students are going through on a daily basis?
- How many of your students have shown signs of stress/anxiety and depression? What have you done to help them?
- Do you know the dreams and goals of your students? Have you helped them prepare a written roadmap detailing specific actions to complete?
- Would your students say that you are doing everything you can for them to have the best chance at success?
- Are you adequately equipped to confidently assist teens in overcoming daily life challenges?
- Are you willing to have those "hard to discuss" conversations with your students?
