Daily Commitment
(Author: Panorama Education)
This activity is designed to help with:
- Setting intention
- Directing focus
- Rewiring the brain for positivity
- Increasing helpfulness and kindness
Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Sue Dierks uses a weekly commitment calendar to set her intention, which organizes energy and directs focus. Each day, Sue writes out a daily commitment that includes a way to be of service to others, a way to be of service to herself, and something she is grateful for.
Using this free template, you can create a Weekly Commitment Calendar of your own
Employee Assistance Program
We as educators are human beings with real life traumas and challenging circumstances in our lives outside of work. Some of us are dealing with struggles in our mental health. Reaching out for help is a superpower not a weakness. NISD has a resource that may be beneficial to you called the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). EAP can be accessed by calling The Standard 1-888-293-6948 or visiting http://members.healthadvocate.com/.
