Adult SEL CoP #2 by Cat Huang https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2 Strategies to prioritize educator health and well-being in the school setting with a goal of reducing stress and burnout en-us 2023-03-06 22:26:26 UTC 2025-12-14 02:04:21 UTC hello@padlet.com love this idea! https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516793034 2023-03-14 22:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516793034 https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516796402 I really like how this mentions that teachers are not superheroes. This shows our students that everyone has problems, but its how you deal with them that makes the difference. It also shows the vulnerable human side of teaching.]]> 2023-03-14 22:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516796402 https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516797587 Love the idea of giving voice to the staff.]]> 2023-03-14 22:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516797587 I do a weekly check-in with my team of 25 where they can share anything going on with them, both persoanlly and professionally. They can also ask me to stop by and visit their rooms if they want me to see something specific. My building has over 140 staff members, so its hard to be every where all the time. https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798082 2023-03-14 22:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798082 Our district surveyed (during Covid so no one was thinking clearly) the staff three times about what they wanted in terms of self care. Programs like yoga, outdoor walks, virtual break rooms to connect were set and only our Wellness Committee members showed up. I'll definitely asterisk that it was Covid so people were not their best selves. https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798176 2023-03-14 22:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798176 I am personally working on this, and at times when I have tried to share with staff some wellness tips and tricks they have called me out that I do not practice what I preach! LOL, so I am working to be a better model for them! https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798669 2023-03-14 22:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798669 I also love this one in particular because when teachers don't feel valued or heard, that contributes to burnout in a big way. So really listening to your staff and showing you care for your staff promotes a positive work environment with mutual respect. https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798978 2023-03-14 22:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516798978 https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516799089 When I was a building administrator, I did my best to walk the building before and after school each day to touch base with as many staff members as possible.]]> 2023-03-14 22:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516799089 We have built in time each week for teacher teams and grade level teams to meet and discuss school priorities and also students - sometimes I think it would be a good idea to give staff an off week to cover what they need to, or figure out how to build that into the agenda https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516799929 2023-03-14 22:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516799929 Our admin team has tried HARD to use the "Send Later" feature in Gmail so teachers don't feel compelled to check email/respond to email after hours. It doesn't always happen, but it's a concerted effort! https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516804537 2023-03-14 22:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chhuang2/czf2crtpoq0cs5f2/wish/2516804537
