Music Teacher Coffee Talk 34: Resiliency
Resiliency is an important skill all teachers should cultivate. In this episode of the Music Teacher Coffee Talk podcast, Carrie and I discuss ideas on how to keep teacher burnout at bay and how to find teacher happiness for a long career.
“When we tackle obstacles,
we find hidden reserves of courage
and resilience
we did not know we had.
And it is only when we are faced with failure
do we realize
that these resources
were always there within us.
We only need to find them and move on with our lives. “
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
