Teacher Tea-LC

November 12 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

 

Come have some tea, read a book or catch up on grading, and be in the supportive company of fellow teachers.

Are you a teacher or childcare worker in need of a place to relax for a minute after a chaotic day? Working in a career that requires constant care for others can lead to “compassion fatigue,” hurting a teacher’s effectiveness, job satisfaction, and their personal well-being. Join fellow teachers for a twice-a-month community space that prioritizes stress relief and burnout prevention. We will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, alternating between two meeting styles: silent book club and activity. During silent book club meetings, participants are encouraged to bring or borrow a book of their choice. We will read until about 4:15, and then we will open up the room for discussion– whatever that discussion needs to be. Maybe it’s about an awesome book you’re reading, or maybe it’s tips for equitable grading or creating a more positive classroom dynamic! For an activity meeting, we will do a relaxing craft or self-care activity together and chat freely.

This week will be silent book club! Tea, light snacks, cozy vibes, book recommendations, and encouragement will be provided.

New teachers, veteran teachers, student teachers, and care workers of all backgrounds are welcome. Drop in as your schedule allows– don’t worry about arriving late or leaving early.
