Being a teacher and working in a school is hard on a perfect day…let alone during a pandemic!  You all are rock stars and I hope to be a support person for all of you, as well as our students and their families!  Here are some websites that I hope will provide you some helpful tips on how to protect your and your students’ health and wellness during these uncertain times!  Many of these resources can continue to be useful even once COVID-19 has subsided.

Websites:

• COVID and Mental Health for Teachers
• Mental Health Resources for Teachers (from worksheets to educational games to music)
• Personal Values Assessment - Great resource for if you are having trouble motivating your students!
  • This assessment helps you to understand what someone finds important...we do not all prioritize the same things
• Teach.com

For additional assistance and should you have questions on how to best support your students, do not hesitate to pop into my office and/or contact me directly! You also can refer students to counseling by reaching out to the student’s School Counselor if you are concerned.  If they feel that the student needs more intensive support, they will forward me the referral.  I am excited to join your team and meet you all!
