Picture this: It’s a bright and early morning, and teachers are gathering in the staff room, coffee in hand, ready to tackle another day of working with kids.
But amid the hustle and bustle, there is an undercurrent of anxiety. One teacher is silently panicking on the unrealistic deadlines and targets set by their administration. Another is worrying about the fallout (and the hours of prep needed!) if she takes a sick day. The math team is upset about a vague but scolding email from their team leader, while the ELA team is confused about the rumblings they hear about grade level changes next year and content complaints from a handful of parents.
