A3: Building a community takes purposeful planning, but has major effects! Toxic work environments tear people down. Supportive, collaborative and positive work space makes all the difference in productivity, attitudes and will have a large impact on adult and student relationships! #EduSkyChat

A3: A strong professional community reminds educators they’re not alone. Peer support offers encouragement, shares ideas, and helps lighten the load. It fosters connection, reduces stress, and makes it easier to set boundaries and maintain balance. #EduSkyChat

Q2: Give Ts time to collaborate, create, and breathe. Support structures matter w/ clear boundaries, meaningful PD (not just another initiative), & space to innovate w/o fear. When Ts feel trusted and valued, everything else gets better. DO NOT HAVE A MTG WHEN AN EMAIL WILL WORK!! #EduSkyChat

A2: Schools can support teacher mental health by protecting prep time, reducing unnecessary meetings, encouraging boundaries, and promoting wellness initiatives. Admins should listen, check in regularly, and create a culture where rest and balance are valued. #EduSkyChat

A1 One simple thing educators can do to prioritize their own well-being is to be very clear about personal boundaries. Everyone is different in terms of bandwidth & time & responsibilities, so it won't look the same for each person. Communicate them to others firmly and clearly. #EduSkyChat

A1. I find that limiting my screen time helps to prioritize my time in all aspects of my life. Limiting social media and keeping email off of my phone. #EduSkyChat

A1: I set work hour boundaries, take quick movement breaks, and try to practice gratitude each day. Focus Mode and calming apps help me reset. Prioritizing rest, water, and time off matters—and staying connected with supportive colleagues keeps me going. #EduSkyChat

This self-assessment hack, from T Phoenix Moony, couldn't be any simpler: #TeacherHack

"I leave highlighters next to the turn-in bin. Students highlight their name when they turn in assignments: green if they feel very confident they did well, yellow if they think they mostly have it and orange if they really struggled. It's a self-assessment, and there are fewer papers missing names." —Teacher Phoenix Moony

Tip Tuesday! It happens. You close a browser tab and then, oops, you realize you actually wanted to keep that tab open. You have options for reopening the closed tab in Chrome: ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut 🖱️ Right-click tab bar ⬇️ Search Tabs button ↖️ File menu
