Can a growth mindset and positive thinking go hand in hand with the realities of daily life in the classroom? We think so. In this thought-provoking episode of The Rooted Teacher Podcast by KDP, we face the challenge of "Toxic Positivity" and its impact on the teaching profession.

As teachers, we explore the importance of embracing our feelings, promoting genuine well-being, and maintaining a healthy outlook on life. Join us for an enlightening discussion on how to navigate the fine line between promoting positivity and acknowledging the complexities of the human experience.

We know that many of our students face extreme hardships and challenges before they come into our room, but supporting children who have experienced ACES or trauma can take a toll on you too. In this episode of The Rooted Teacher Podcast by KDP, we delve into the crucial topics of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), trauma, and how to avoid compassion fatigue in the world of education. 

Take a few minutes to listen today and get quick tips on the science of trauma, and practical strategies you can use to protect yourself from compassion fatigue while continuing to make a positive impact. Whether you're a seasoned educator or just beginning your journey, this episode offers valuable insights for creating a compassionate and resilient educational environment.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, being a new teacher at a new school can sometimes make you feel like you're right back in high school. However, as the daughter of a Canadian R.C.M.P. officer (whose family moved every 2 years growing up) I've learned a few things about how to make friends quickly at a new school. Let's talk about how you can fit in AND stand out in your new position!
