A Heartfelt Plea to Educators and Administrators: Don't Let the Good Ones Tap Out
A few weeks ago, I got off the phone with yet another phenomenal teacher who told me they were ready to quit. And it breaks my heart because I know they're not alone.
I've been saying this for a while now, but I'll say it again: the people at the top have got it wrong. They've got it wrong when it comes to supporting teachers, addressing big behaviors, and implementing effective social emotional learning. Handing out more documents and slide decks from past conferences isn't the answer. You, as teachers, need real, actionable support that resonates with your experiences.
I've been in your shoes. I know what works because I've lived it in my own classroom.
That's why my approach to SEL is rooted in storytelling. I share relatable experiences from my own teaching journey because I know that when you see yourself and your students in these stories, you're inspired to take action and create change in your own classrooms.
SEL done right comes from conversations, not presentations. It's about building a community of like-minded educators who are ready to roll up their sleeves and find solutions together. That's what my team and I are here for. We're here to provide in-person support and be there for you when you need it most.
To the administrators out there, I have a message for you:
Show your teachers that they are worthy of support. Don't sit idly by while they struggle.
Take action now, before it's too late.
The world of education needs you to step up and do whatever it takes to keep your amazing teachers in the classroom.
And to my fellow teachers, I want you to know that you're not alone.
You don't have to face the challenges of big behaviors and trauma on your own. There is a community of heart-centered educators, myself included, ready to support you, share stories, and find solutions together.
I know that feeling of dread on Sunday nights, the "Sunday Scaries" that creep in as you think about the unknowns of the week ahead. The newness of the kids and the behaviors you might face all cause a state of alarm in our bodies and anxiety that can feel overwhelming.
But here's the thing: teaching is a marathon, not a sprint. And you need people to run with.
That's where Teaching Inside Out comes in.
Our intentional coaching is designed to be those running partners you need, no matter where you are in the marathon. We're here to run alongside you, to support you, to cheer you on, and to help you cross that finish line. Because when you have a team of people who understand the journey, who have been where you are, and who are committed to your success, anything is possible.
So, if you're ready to say goodbye to the Sunday Scaries and hello to a community of support, here's what you can do:
Reach out to me and my team at Teaching Inside Out for in-person support and guidance.
Join our community of like-minded educators committed to SEL and finding solutions.
Share your own stories and experiences to help others feel less alone.
Take action in your own classroom or school, armed with the strategies and support you need to succeed.
Together, we can create a world where every teacher feels supported, every student feels seen, and every classroom is a place of growth and transformation.
Don't let the good ones tap out. Let's do this.
