    Challenge 3: Recognize the Compliment Behind the Insult

    Challenge 3: Recognize the Compliment Behind the Insult

    As a teacher, there are so many challenges and “to-dos” that arise each day. There is always something you are trying to problem solve and there are always things you want to do better. We are our own worst critiques. However, when we hear others say things about the decisions we make in our classroom, it can be even more disheartening. It makes you question all that you do and all that you stand for. But here’s the deal, you can’t believe everything you hear. Join me in listening to this podcast while I talk about the 5 things that teachers may hear, that should NEVER be taken as an insult.

I loved her before and love her even more now!!

I’ve been following her for a while now and feel like she’s always talking directly to me! She’s so relatable, so positive and inspirational! Total teacher goals! Listening to her break down topics even more on the podcast has been a dream come true! I’m a general education teacher but most days I feel like a special ed teacher so I use everything she says and try to put it into practice right away! Never stop being you, Ms. Chyna💗

So helpful!

I’m going in to my first year teaching this fall, there is still so much uncertainty because of COVID that I’m honestly so worried about. Listening to this helped me get back into a more positive mindset. I knew going into my first year teaching things weren’t not going to be perfect. But hearing don’t be a negative Nancy kind of shocked me back into reality. Before I was evening student teaching, I was a TA in PreK classroom and I was so burnt out. I thought I can’t teach the rest of my life because I feeling so miserable. Looking back I realize that it was the people around me and my own negative posts that made almost lose the my “teaching spark”. Things are going to be tough and that’s okay. I 100% recommended listening to all of EspeciallySped podcasts and checking her out on instagram!
