How has being a union member helped you?
Being a member of a union is being part of a team. 当我站起来、说话或呼喊时,我不是独自一人. My brothers and sisters are always there. 当我需要休息并退后一步时,他们会在那里传递火炬. My union has advocated for equity, equality, 以及所有教育工作者的生活质量——从教师到公交车司机, admin assistants, and janitorial staff. All are welcome. All are valuable. They set the tone and culture of our community.
我的工会,我们的工会,不代表我,它代表我们. 它做研究,收集数据,然后出现在餐桌上. It makes me proud to be an educator.
如果你能给教育界的人一条建议,那会是什么?
Practice the pause.
Wait after you ask to get them time to think.
在你回答之前先想想你要说什么.
Hold space for others.
Hold space for yourself.
找出你把压力储存在身体的哪个部位,然后把它们释放出来.
