KEYNOTES DISCUSSED:
• I had my students for the first time, September 3rd, but this morning, Saturday morning, I woke up and all of a sudden I could feel every single muscle in my back, in my shoulders, in my head. I've had this low, mild headache for over a week, just because of anxiety and stress. But this morning, I woke up feeling all of the feels and going, what is happening? That is emotional trauma. Which is now physically ailing me. But my daughter, my 16-year-old daughter, in fact, as I was journaling, she came down and she's like, Mom, you need to listen to the song. And I'm like, No, I'm journaling. Not now, Not now. She's like, No, Mom, I insist. You need to listen to this song. (4:16)
• This school year, I have been sharing with my students, my colleagues and my friends, it is all about patience, grace and flexibility. And let me tell you, because I'm sure many of you are like me. we don't give ourselves and of grace or patients, nor the flexibility, because we strive for that excellence because we want to put out our very best foot forward. Because not only do we want to share what we can do and be, but we want to hold our students to high standards as well. (10:07)
• And I know we can't be our best selves if we are carrying the weight of the world, the virtual world on our shoulders. But you will rise and you will figure out a new normal, because this is what it is, we're all figuring out these new normals, and you're going to have to learn how to say no, and you're going to have to learn how to give yourself boundaries when you've always been the go-to person with people asking you questions. (11:31)
• I know we are getting slammed with emails and trying to get caught up in trying to stay organized and it is hard, but give yourself the grace, give yourself the flexibility, give yourself the patients, and give yourself boundaries. I'm so thankful for my teacher squad, who I was over at their house last night, and there was about eight of us, and we're just in the kitchen, just going, deep breath, exhale, and then calm yourselves and say, you know what, I am so thankful to have my teacher squad. (13:22)
• So if you don't have your teachers squad, count on me. I'll be your teacher squad and I will cheer you on because we are all in this together, from teachers who don't teach family consumer sciences and who are part of the core 24, or whatever else they have. We're all first-year teachers for the very first time, those of who have been in the field for 20 plus years, you guys are amazing, and you have such a wealth of knowledge, and then we have our first year teachers who are… Let me say, you guys are entering the educational realm in such a unique time in history, we're in that fourth revolution, Industrial Revolution is the digital revolution right now.
