Self-Care as a Professional Responsibility

A Conversation with Mike Anderson, Little Things First

This is part 3 of a four-part series on how to support educators in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

In this conversation with the Little Things First podcast hosts, Tracy Vandeventer and James Martin, we dig into all kinds of cool topics. We touch on choice, language, social-emotional learning, teacher health and balance, homework and more. We focus on the current COVID-19 crisis, but many of these topics ring true for normal in-school times as well.
