As an educator of 16 years, I have dedicated the last few years to training, coaching, and supporting teachers and see a need to help educators establish balance in both teaching practices and their lives. In each episode, I’ll talk with thought leaders to explore this complex issue, striving for ways to achieve a healthier work-life balance and address the question, “How do we empower ourselves to create and implement boundaries both inside and outside of the classroom?” Presented by StudySync.
