✨ It’s OK if Your 2025 TeacherGoal is ….. ✨* Not bringing work home on the weekends.* Removing your work email app from your phone.* Leaving school as soon as the bell rings—at least once a week!* Saying ‘no’ to an extra committee or project.* Skipping the fancy bulletin boards and using simple ones instead.* Using pre-made resources to save time instead of creating your own.* Taking a mental health day when you need it.* Setting boundaries with colleagues who drain your energy.* Focusing on progress, not perfection, for your students—and yourself!* Asking for help when you need it instead of trying to do it all..What’s your 2025 teacher goal? 🤫 Pssst.. It’s also ok if you decide to not set a 2025 teacher goal at all!.....#teachingautism #spedteacher #spedtribe #spedteachers #spedclassroom #specialeducationteacher ... See MoreSee Less
