MTA Summer Conference 2010

Posted By Melissa

Just finished my presentation to 20 amazing educators at the MTA Summer Conference 2010 here in WIlliamstown, MA.  I wish I could put into words how energized and blessed I feel after working with such an amazing group of educators.  I love what I do!

 

We were able to use our time together to really get into examining what are our top teacher stressors and what do we need to do to set ourselves on a path to wellness and balance.  I was pleased by not only the quantity but also the quality of the actions steps that were created from this group in such a short time.

 

I love this venue because the group is always diverse, positive, and supportive of each other.  It reminds me of why I am doing what I do.  Thanks to each of the participants for sharing 3 hours of your busy schedule with me.  I love being able to hear your experiences and see the sparks as you join me on the journey to balance before burnout!

Be Sociable, Share!

Melissa, I enjoyed your workshop today.  I hope to carry some of this perspective into the new year.  I shared your thoughts with my sister who is about to start her first year as a teacher.  Hopefully she can start her career with some healthy habits.  thank you.  Maura S.

Maura,

Thanks so much!  It was great talking with you.  Please keep in touch and let me know how your school year is progressing. 

Remember that balance isn't a set location, but rather a mindset and you'll do fine.

It was truly my pleasure presenting to such a great group!  Best wishes!

Warnly,

Melissa
