#hcpsteach A1 Prioritizing your needs over others'.

That's hard for me; especially if it's for people who I really care about, or a passion of mine. #hcpsteach

I'm good w/saying no personally, professionally not so much. I am very passionate about my school and our kids. #hcpsteach

Relationships are easier to maintain than repair. Hopefully we have more experience with the former than the later #hcpsteach

Teaches balance. Important of saying yes to things if it improves quality of life. #hcpsteach

Same! It's hard to say no when you feel like so many will be affected. #hcpsteach

A2: Sometimes leaving it at school allows fresh outlook & ideas, different view. Stronger plans, fair grading of essays for me. #hcpsteach

Lunchtime is for eating and connecting with peers. Working thru lunch leads to burnout and feeling isolated. #hcpsteach

I am guilty of this so I can keep the library open for the kids. I should start inviting the adults as well. #hcpsteach

The Ss are sometimes better at recognizing the tension in the room than the adults, and certainly more easily effected. #hcpsteach

Be willing to call out a colleague (kindly of course). "Hey do you need some help with something? I notice you've been stressed". #hcpsteach
