3 Principals Innovative Teachers Should Practice

Establishing Boundaries for Mental Health in Education | Balance & Well-being

  • by

Over the past several years in the educational realm, educators at all levels have started to talk about the need for taking care of their mental health. Mental health is an important aspect of every professional, especially in education because it is a hard job. One way that educators can be proactive in taking care of their mental health is to setup reasonable boundaries for when they work, respond to emails or take work home. This helps to build in balance between work and personal life, but also to setup reasonable expectations for the job that parents and administrator can and should adhere to.

Back to School: A Time for Change

As we as teachers get ready to head back to school for another school year, I find myself reflecting on what worked and what didn’t work in the previous school year. These last couple of weeks of summer break is a time that I use to think about what processes, procedures or practices. This is especially true for classroom policies that are hard or unable to be changed midway through a semester. These are why I try to plan changes for the beginning of the school year.

Efficient School Cloud Drive Organization and File Naming Strategy

Another school year has come and gone. Now that I have time over summer break, I am going to work on organizing my work cloud drive to help bring a bit more order to the chaos that every school year inherently has. Every year I say that I am going to be better about keeping my work cloud drive neat and organized, but then the reality of creating files and assignments on the fly sets in and I just drop files in where I can so that I can move on to something else.

Leadership Styles

Six leadership styles—Transformational, Delegative, Authoritative, Transactional, Participative, and Servant—are outlined, emphasizing their distinct approaches to change, delegation, vision-building, reward systems, collaborative decision-making, and people-first ethics, respectively. Leaders often blend these styles, with one typically being predominant. Understanding personal leadership style is crucial for leaders, as it influences team dynamics, motivation, and organizational success.
