A2: Some Ss’ trauma needs to be addressed immediately before having the whole story. We have to give ourselves grace but then process with Ss and hopefully they will trust us enough to let us know what is going on. #edutopiachat
A3: My self-care strategies:
1. Lunch with colleagues and keep it positive 2. Twitter chats with my PLN 3. Read professional books that strengthens my teaching 4. Treat myself to a Starbucks peach infused ice tea #edutopiachat
