Hi Heidi, I'm here!!! How are you?
-
We may be a small group tonight as I know several of us couldn't make it! If you are new tonight- don't be shy! Say hello! :)
-
Hello Sue!!! How are you?!
-
Good thanks although feeling chilly tonight, actually put the heating on!
-
It might be just you and me tonight! If so we will end a bit early though I notice folks filter in later often! :)
-
That's fine, I don't tend to manage much after 9pm at the moment
-
Oh boy!! It's been rainy here after a hot summer! Everyone is happy w some cold and grey!
-
I wonder if the pressure on teachers is stopping more people joining in?
-
I hear you! I've been trying to figure out how to make it easier people to attend- I know overworked, tired!
-
It's been a lovely sunny day, but temp dropping in the evening. Plus I live in a cold house so makes it worse
-
I know it's tricky, I'm desperately trying to get a work life balance
-
Yes! I think so- definitely attendance lower here since all the stress on teachers
-
is super important!! Critical! How can we help w this in a strategic way and yet be a reliable resource for people?!
-
This is something I've been trying to figure for a year now and I don't have an answer! I'd love your feedback/ideas!
-
I don't know, i think we need to see this as CPD but how you show leaders this and have evidence
-
I wish I had an answer, although I haven't done any work this evening, just too tired
-
Yes- it's an area of divide between Canada/US and UK and Europe! NAmerica supports, UK/Europe- not
-
So maybe that's a place we could start to work- and might be just the person :) She's traveling tonight!
-
Tonight's chat topic is supposed to be on social justice- I see tired teachers as a big problem there!
-
There is also another primary chat at this time too
-
-
-
hmm- that is interesting- this is our 4th year I think doing the Europe time! Would be good to coordinate!
-
I am on several FB teachers pages & there are many asking what job to do after teaching. So many leaving
-
-
-
many won't realize how stressed teachers are until everyone starts working at other professions and no teachers left!
-
-
Yes! Thank you for letting me know! I'll chat w them afterwards!
-
I've only been teaching 5yrs but it crosses my mind what else I could do
-
I hear you!! Wondering how we can get that message across- let's chat more about this!!!
-
Ok, so let's wrap up early tonight and let our minds wander, think up some solutions! Or at least enjoy the night! :)
-
I think teachers need to campaign more for changes, to stop the top down pressure that is happening
-
That's definitely a way towards helping achieve more balance! :) Have a great night Sue!!!
-
RT I think teachers need to campaign more for changes, to stop the top down pressure that is happening
-
Agree!! I wish we could help with that somehow- you've all been such wonderful edu ambassadors!
-
Cheers Heidi, don't work too hard! Speak to you next week, take care
-
Sounds good Sue!! Sleep well!! XO
-
Calling it an early night folks! See you next week! :)
-
