Boundaries

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.
