Moving forward, I want to be more mindful of if I’m passing on the “hustle culture” to my students.

I plan on saying no to the many unnecessary committees and extra tasks that don’t serve me. Even when other teachers try to convince me to “play along to get along”, I will stand my ground and continue to say no.

I plan to schedule breaks and reinforce the idea of giving themselves grace.

I’d like to work more on habits. I know that it’s easier to uphold my boundaries during different times of the year. So maintaining habits will help me be consistent throughout the year.

I will show students that they have to slow down to learn. But I understand the students move on the pace of the school schedule. One of the main reasons our babies struggle in school so much is because educators rush them to master concepts in 5-7 days.  I will stand up for my student’s needs and resist the urge to move on when they are not ready to move on.

Yes, I’m burned out every year. Stopping hustle culture can allow me to slow down and stop trying to accomplish a thousand things at once. I am dedicating my time to a few things that I can handle/accomplish instead of overloading myself.

I plan on blocking off time in my calendar where I can intentionally stop and think about whether I’m actually reducing the hustle culture or if I’m still perpetuating it in my life. If I’m still failing into hustle culture, I will change my behavior. Then I will continue to do that until it becomes a habit.

I think all three of these are important, but I think for myself the first step will be changing my perspective . like Miss Lamar I tend to be a perfectionist and I will work on a lesson plan twice as long as I should. I need to understand when is it’s good enough.  That relates to habits: I want to set times when I’m going to do certain things and not work on those things outside of those times.

-use prep periods effectively so there is no spill-over in to after-school hours

- be careful of volunteering for activities outside of school/extra roles

- review the importance of mental health breaks

-“there are no homework emergencies” - homework or projects can wait until the next day if they are overburdened/tired/something personal comes up

For many years I would stay after school late (past 6pm sometimes) and I would go to the school building on weekends to make copies, prep the classroom, work on lessons, etc. During COVID I stopped those habits but I continue to take a lot of work home after school and into the weekend. I think by developing these personal boundaries I can invest time into the other parts of my self.

I think I need to work on all three of those areas but a point of focus would probably be boundaries, as I tend to think about my teaching practice so much. Having time to parse out what is my “teacher identity” vs. the rest of my self is important.

-a daily check in with myself, “What have I done for me today that is not teaching related?”

After listening to Kayland speak, I'm realizing my perspectives and habits are not aligned. While I speak on and teach self-care and boundary setting to those around me (peers and students), my own habits don't reflect that same value and leave me burnt out and struggling to find joy in my current role. I will be working on re-establishing healthy habits around work-life balance.

I want to take some time to reflect on what elements of hustle culture are being put on me versus those that I am taking on myself in order to determine where problems lie and how they can actively be disrupted

Perspective and how I demonstrate that to the school community. How to be my whole self and not just stuck in “work” mode.

Use prep time more efficiently, and continue to voice how some in-building demands take away from content time when we are being pushed to show academic growth. I've also never thought about how I might be pushing hustle culture onto my kids, and that hurts my heart. I will be more aware.

Our school has its own SE curriculum which reminds us, every day, to be mindful, stop or slow down, and breathe. I plan to schedule more built-in mindful moments in our day.

Burned out is where I tend to live, but especially after the last two years. Next year, when I make better choices with my boundaries and habits, I will have more energy (mental, physical and emotional) for myself and the kids.

I plan to work on boundaries and habits. I've been better about boundaries this last year, but I think my next step is to feel confident enough to explain my boundary without guilt. I have many good habits, but also many bad habits! My attention is going to be focused on personal systems and use of planning time while shutting my door for more quiet.

I have a 2+ hr daily commute, so I'm always reflecting. I like thinking about what went well, what didn't, and what would I change. I like re-living personal encounters with Ss and what I learned so I can help them academically or socially the next day.
