A2: Ts often times are made to feel guilty when they take time to recharge their batteries or actually leave school when it's time to leave not when the janitors are locking the building and turning on the alarm #UrbanEdChat

Trust me, itโs learned behavior! When you are new teacher the pressure is really there to get it all done immediately. You have the stop and make yourself realize if I died today, someone would be doing my work tomorrow. #perspective#urbanedchat
Q3: Evaluate the climate of the school and make sure support systems are in place for those that need it. Being proactive instead of reactive to prevent burnout.

#UrbanEdChat A4 teacher relationships have helped me better understand my role in leadership and how to communicate not just with students but with adult educators.

A5: I wanted to leave at year 5 and pursue a degree in nursing and then a nurse practitioner but I didn't because I didn't want to move back home! LOL!!! #UrbanEdChat
A4. In & out of the classroom it's important to have those you can seek advice, gain new perspectives & discover resources together that develop & empower you. You can't grow alone.
