Reclaiming Self-Care

We are just coming off summer break and many of us across the profession are back on physical campuses. Unfortunately, educators have a bad habit of not taking breaks or prioritizing our own health. Our districts and unions will encourage us to labor for “the love of the kids” while reminding you to rest. #HowSway. There should not be any guilt around visiting your doctor or taking a day when you are unwell, whether mentally or physically. But what are you doing for you and how has this pandemic affected your self-care routines?
