Episode 89: Things we Have to Accept as Teachers

Okay, here it is: there are some harsh truths and realities we all have to face as teachers.  I think a lot of us have this idealized version of ourselves, where we provide inspiration in engaging, perfectly-executed, differentiated, multi-faceted lessons which .......okay, I'm gonna stop there.  Let's be real - we have a lot to live up to but I think that pressure comes mostly from ourselves.  In this episode, I talk about some things we just have to accept but I try to give a few tips and questions to alleviate the pressure of our jobs.  Watch my ELTed presentation on lexicalizing grammar here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CjcuK0FpYUT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link  Do me a solid and fill out my survey – it only takes 2 minutes, I promise!: https://forms.gle/rcJXj7k5rTZG848x7  Contact me: ⁠[email protected]⁠ Like, share, DM me and follow me on Instagram @https://www.instagram.com/everythingeflteacher and on Facebook  @https://www.facebook.com/groups/everythingeflteacherdevelopment  Subscribe to Youtube @Everything EFL for teaching tip videos and full podcast episodes with Closed Captions.  Connect with me on LinkedIn @ https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-o-byrne-90b58a55/  Subscribe to the podcast on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple.... and don’t forget to tell your colleagues.

I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me. I can help reduce your overwhelm, give you some teachy inspo and improve your work-life balance. How? With solid takeaways you can try out immediately AND some much needed teacher love. Because your wellbeing is important too. You can find my contact details in the show notes if you'd like me to work with your institution and create a tailor-made CPD workshop for you.
