Hello all,
If you haven't yet read It's OK Not to Be Resilient Today by ATPE Engagement & Learning Specialist Andrea Hutlock, be sure to check it out on atpenews.org.
In this installment of The Teacher Down the Hall, Hutlock explores the emotional weight many educators carry when facing unexpected professional changes, such as campus closures, reassignment, or the loss of a position. Rather than focusing on pushing through, the article acknowledges the very real grief that can come with these transitions and reminds educators that rest and reflection are necessary parts of moving forward.
As summer begins and many educators are processing changes for the coming school year, this article offers a thoughtful perspective on giving yourself space to breathe before stepping into what comes next.
Up for discussion: How can schools and colleagues better support educators experiencing unexpected professional transitions?
