#183: Reclaiming Your Identity Outside of Teaching

In today’s episode, I am covering one of my favorite topics – I’ve consistently spoken about it over the last few years. 

Reclaiming your identity outside of the classroom.

This is a critical part of becoming an incredible teacher — I believe that when you can create an identity outside of teaching and the classroom, you become the teacher you want to be. 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Taking the first step to reclaim your identity outside of the classroom is probably the hardest part
  • The burnout cycle teachers get into is so common with the expected workload but there are ways to stay who you are at the core
  • It's important to be aware of who you surround yourself with -- those are the people that have the most influence in your life
