59. How to Deal with Feeling Unappreciated as a Teacher

Have you ever felt unappreciated as a teacher or discouraged by the current classroom conditions and expectations? Teaching can often feel like a thankless job, and many are leaving the classroom because the hours and demands of teaching have led them to choose another path. This episode, recorded during Teacher Appreciation Week, looks at what matters more than appreciation, because change and appreciation, in the form we seek, may never come. If we want to continue doing well for our students and honor ourselves, the validation needs to come from within. Have a question or idea for a future episode on teacher burnout or classroom management?
