Manage episode 461075761 series 3505317
🌟 Teacher Growth Reimagined: Why "Being" Beats "Doing" - A Fresh Take on New Year's Resolutions
Are you one of the 80% of teachers whose New Year's resolutions have already fallen apart? Don't worry - you're not alone! Let's ditch the "new year, new you" pressure and focus on something more powerful: identity-based growth. 🌱
Key sections of this episode:
Identity Over Actions 💫
Focus on WHO you want to be rather than WHAT you want to do
Your personality isn't fixed - you can intentionally shape it to align with your goals
Remember, "Your energy teaches more than your lesson plans." How you show up matters.
Creating Your Teacher Avatar 👩🏫
Visualize your ideal teaching self
Define how you want to show up in the classroom
Example attributes:
Prioritizing connection before correction
Bringing joy to learning
Building students up, not breaking them down
Maintaining healthy boundaries
The 3-Minute Morning Practice ⏰ That Can Transform Your Growth
Power Questions for Self-Reflection 🤔
- "What would my ideal teacher-self do right now?"
- "How do I want to be remembered?"
- "Do my actions match my intentions?"
Remember: You don't need a "new you" - you just need to reconnect with the amazing educator you were before stress and overwhelm took over. Simple doesn't mean easy, but focusing on who you want to BE rather than what you want to DO creates lasting, meaningful change.
