These are challenging times, but what if you’re trying to find some normalcy amidst the challenges? Today’s guest, Michelle Blanchet, co-author of the Startup Teacher Playbook talks about a method she teaches teachers to help determine the specific issues of concern so that improvements can be made and the teacher can have a sense of forward progress. Social Emotional Learning isn’t just for students, this episode focuses on teachers and their self-care.
