Who are your teaching champions?
As I am starting to prepare for this upcoming school year, I have taken some time to reflect upon what has happened over the past year. The list of things I have been able to be a part of and have accomplished is longer than I had realized and they expand way beyond the #PhysEd and #ORedu community. I am proud of having taught, coached and completed my Master’s in Educational Leadership at the same time. So I had begun wondering to myself this summer why I didn’t feel nearly as good about my professional life as I should. Was I burned out? If I was, how could I find a way to get back on track? I have heard the term “confidence through connectedness” (thanks, Tom Whitby), but if that were true, why wasn’t I feeling any more confident than before?
