43. Teachers Can Trust Themselves

Episode 43 – Teachers Can Trust Themselves
Teacher Wellness Tips

In this episode of The Strength of Teachers, we explore the importance of teacher wellness through the lens of self-trust. Host Brennashares a personal story about how failing to listen to her intuition led to a back injury, drawing a powerful parallel to how teachers often doubt their instincts in the classroom.

With a sea of opinions from administrators, specialists, and even social media, it can be easy to question your own judgment as an educator.

However, Brenna emphasizes that teachers are professionals with deep knowledge of their students and subjects, and that trusting yourself can be a key part of maintaining wellness.
Key Takeaways:* Trust your own instincts as a teacher; you know your students and their needs best.
* While seeking advice and resources is valuable, your unique expertise is what matters most in your classroom.
* Excessive external opinions can lead to self-doubt, but believing in your own capabilities fosters a stronger teaching practice.
* Taking care of your teacher wellness means recognizing when to pause, reflect, and listen to yourself.

Teacher Wellness Tip of the Week:
If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a step back and ask yourself, "What is my intuition telling me?" Trust your inner voice as a guide for both your personal and professional life.
