As teachers, we wear a lot of hats and help dozens of students every day, but we also want to make sure we pay attention to ourselves. We can’t pour from an empty cup! In our latest Top of the Class episode, “Practicing Mindfulness as an Educator,’’ your hosts Emily Pottinger and Dr. Meredith Critchfield discuss ways for us, as teachers, to be mindful and take care of ourselves — all so we can best support our students! This episode is jam-packed with tips and tricks on how to practice mindfulness as an educator.
