I created Teacherly Way as a platform and community that encompasses the life of a teacher, the art of a teacher, and the passion of a teacher. It is a word that can describe an individual who is an educator or it can describe the way in which educators do something...in a "teacherly way." As a teacher, I wanted to create something for the teacher inside and outside of the classroom. As educators, we tend to place a lot of extra time and effort into our jobs. We take our work home with us, physically, mentally, and spiritually. We tend to push ourselves so much and sometimes end up feeling burnt out. When we do this, we not only affect ourselves, but we affect everyone around us. I am here to tell you that if you feel burnt out or tired, you are not alone. As educators, we feel a range of emotions as we sometimes fill the roles of teacher, parent, nurse, counselor, data analyst, actor, psychologist, you name it. I want you to know that you as an educator are amazing and inspiring in more ways than you may ever know and I wanted to create something that encompasses the life, art, and passion of you, the teacher.
When I created Teacherly Way, I designed it with the intention to meet teachers where they are at, focusing on the teacher as a whole individual. There are three main areas that Teacherly Way focuses in on: the classroom, the teacher, and the self. My hope is that you will be able to find something that resonates with you here, something that brings you peace and rest, something that challenges you, and something that inspires you to be a better educator and individual.
