Educators Must Laugh to Release Stress
Are you looking for an SEL expert for educators? Be it SEL, PBL, LOL, or SOL, If an educator asks me about my Individualized Engagement plan, I always invite them to experience rather than explain. Words are a great medium, but not the arena to impart soft skills to our nation's youth or, in this case, teachers in need of fewer screens and more places to scream forward :-)
It's a metaphor, silly, for giving voice to find a better space to connect, create, and reinject the passions that made each educator choose such a noble profession with soulful rewards that don't always pay the proper price for sustained positivity and passion. I'll save underappreciated and underpaid for another day. Does anyone want to scream? See how I do that?
Hello, my name is Tim Clue. I am a funny motivational speaker, no joke, and an SEL LOL expert for educators to boot.
I wanted to point to the importance of offering intentional morale and engagement and then highlight the need to help educators laugh to impact their lives and also aid in a more connected school culture. I welcome you to my blog and issue a genuine concern for the moral quotient among all our nation's educators, and that includes you administrators!
Keeping educators, best spirits intact:
I conduct seminars and sessions that focus on making educators laugh and release stress. And My goodness, I've heard how rough it's been this year. I'd share my weighted blanket with you if that was an acceptable norm, but I think, or new sensitivity to germs has put a damper on Buffets, impulse desert shares, and compression blanket handouts to administrators. But what is trending is the need for inventive team building, morale, and joy to help all our educators through the year with their best spirits intact.
We've all been caught regaling teaching as the most 'noble of professions.' But this platitude, perhaps, is why teachers are given more lip service than actual life support. Our educators need LOL lifelines of all kinds, and my funny facilitation is a specific kind of defibrillator to revive and let our nation's mind mentors thrive.
Moving Towards A Connected Classroom:
I think the kids call this a humble brag, but I'm a celebrated celebration speaker for school kick-offs and convocation days. Principles who get it understand how comedy and improv is the best answer for our sometimes-disconnected teachers. "Say it ain't so!" but yes, it happens. A teacher's classroom, while mostly a haven for learning, can also be a silo regarding quality time to connect with peers in a genuine way. I call my enrichment, keynote, or professional training and development "The Connected Classroom." And what the "classroom rejoins" are not just teachers to their best instincts as mentors but builds pathways to other like-minded experts to collaborate and connect long-term.
This kind of ripple can have an untold impact on students. Suddenly, teachers may connect and develop a program to diagnose early reading challenges among several grades rather than one teacher who seems to have a knack in their own classroom. Suddenly an entire school is known as a school where (no reader is left behind.) Whoops, sorry if that's a trigger phrase, but you get the point; community builds possibilities and programs that can endure and change lives.
Combing Great Energies For Big Changes:
Sometimes serious discussions move faster with less serious agents at the helm.
Teachers are role models that educate but also guide children toward hopefully a positive outlook on their own best minds and best practices, and that's multitasking at its highest level. And big changes within schools happen when great teachers combine great energies, and sometimes that takes a prompt from a LOL team builder and funny facilitator like me.
"Don't miss the chance to have Tim Clue, the hilarious SEL Speaker and expert in LOL humor, host an excellent and unforgettable session for your teachers at your institution."
