Shownotes
Fear of Missing out (FOMO) can rob you of reaching your potential. Educators want to be great, but when they let FOMO be the reason they make a decision, their kids suffer. Social media, conferences and the latest technology are some examples of areas where teachers rush about like moths to a flame. Tune in to hear how to still be part of what’s hot, but not lose sight of your purpose in the classroom.
Quotables
- Stop chasing fads instead of rooting yourself in student achievement
- Prioritize where you put your time- does this really impact student learning?
- Your potential is determined by how you let it grow
- You’ll never be a top notch educator with FOMO as your commander in chief
- Forget the new shiny objects that swirl around you and stay grounded in what has the biggest impact on kids
- Your kids are watching- we are shaping the future and if they look to you as a model and see superficial motivations and outcomes, they’re doomed to repeat it
