Teachers

One thing is for certain, and that is there are few teachers around who aren’t feeling like they’ve run a couple back-to-ultra marathons these days.  After the September to November sprint of start-up, meet the teacher, diagnostic assessments, long-range planning, new testing initiatives, re-organization, getting to know the parents, meeting the needs of the kids, IEPs, progress reports,....do I need to go on?

 

It’s kind of incredible that we get through it, to be honest. Many of us are just treading water. Some of us are feeling like we’ve  got just a nostril above the surface to breathe, and others wondering if we might just drown.

 

Stop. Take a breath. Hold it. Breathe out. And reflect.

 

These struggles need not be handled on one's own.

 

I can empathize.  I am a teacher. I teach and offer therapy too. ​ (OCT # 575516 )

LivingRoom Wellness is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. This land is covered by the Between the Lakes Purchase, 1792, between the Crown and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The region is home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. I strive to do more and learn more about the rich history of this land so that I can better understand roles as a resident, neighbour, collaborater, and caretaker. Furthermore, this learning will deepen my understanding of my privileges as a settler on this territory.
