A6: Find ways to be efficient with your time, your marking. Try to leave it at school. I'm horrible at following my own advice tho #bcedchat

SandyBalascak Apr 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A6 Don't think I should give advice on work-life balance. It would be a case of "take my advice, I'm not using it." 🤣 #bcedchat

JanetChowMSc Apr 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 if yu see someone on twitter sharing a great idea that resonates contact them. Yu never know what great things pop up #bcedchat

Melissa_MyPITA Apr 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A6. My husband calls school my hobby. I love planning/working on units/with kids like a hobby... working on the balance #bcedchat

technolandy Apr 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A6 balance - like a teeter totter...sometimes in the middle but more often not. That's okay as long as you are aware of how tippy! #bcedchat

hljohnson36 Apr 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A5: Soooooo true! Stretching self allows for reflection, rumination, questioning, stronger practice #bcedchat

A6: Remember to not to worry about everything being perfect. Unplug most evenings. Have a some you time! #bcedchat

ChristineYH Apr 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A6. Hmmm.... Work life balance & teaching??? Challenging. What I can say is, it's a lifestyle b/c it's relationship based. #bcedchat

JJ_Burry Apr 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A6: I leave paperwork at school. I continue researching anything I'm interested in at home (and for family time, of course)! #bcedchat
