I phoned the parent of a home instruction student to schedule a drop off of a computer. I started the convo by asking, “How are you? Are you doing ok?” She started to cry as she shared her family’s challenges and I began to cry with her.
Afterwards, my husband and I picked up some gift cards to give to her family along with the computer. The amount of gratitude we received felt like far more than we deserved.
Educators, please don’t underestimate the impact you are currently having through the connections you’re making with compassion and support. This may not be in the curriculum but so important right now.
These are certainly challenges times, taking a mental and emotional toll on everyone. Please remember to be kind to yourself and and reach out for support as you need it. #GettingThroughThisTogether #HeartWork
