Welcome to Day 2 of the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools Spring Virtual Conference! Kicking off the morning with a keynote from tech integration specialist Hedreich Nichols about investing in teacher self-care for student success—join us #dpvils

Hedreich Nichols says wellness/self-care is responding to your needs in the moment, no matter how simple.

Do you prioritize self-care as much as you do teaching? Hedreich Nichols says, 'If you love teaching, love yourself so you can continue to do the job.'

Prioritizing self-care can be challenging but it can improve physical & mental health and help build capacity to be a better educator. Prioritizing self-care is essential to better support students, reduce burnout & maintain overall well-being in & out of the classroom -Hedreich Nichols

To respond to your needs in the moment, Hedreich Nichols says follow these steps:
-Choose 1 high-impact recharge strategy to implement immediately.
-Organize a human break coop.
-Consume social media intentionally.
-Prioritize self-care as much as you would the care of a loved one.
