In order to get out of this "fixing" mode where educators feel as though they need to 'fix' every single student that walks through their door, educators must show resilience. To be resilient, you must stay present and keep true to your intentions rather than reacting to student disruptions. When you stay in the moment and give the lesson or task at hand ALL of your attention it provides opportunity for educators to recognize the influence we have every single day. When you stay present during the time with your students it can allow educators to practice selfcare and be reflective when they are not with students. In addition to developing solid relationships with students, educators should foster authentic relationships with their colleagues. Once this connection is established it can offer a support network for educators when they may be struggling, can give them a sense of purpose and can help get them out of a rut.
