Teacher Care Now – Teacher Support Community

Teacher Care Now is a teacher support community led by, Joycesonia Lawson, a public school teacher for over 18 years. Teacher Care Now is here to help teachers re-prioritize our lives and improve our health, wellness, time management, work satisfaction, and family time. Many teachers suffer from stress, depression, being overworked, overwhelmed, and under supported. This is not best for our students, but more importantly our families or our health and wellness. When teachers take care of ourselves, we are in a better mental, physical, social, and emotional state to take care of others. In education, we ignore the elephant in the room and continue to put more pressure on teachers. We fail to address that fact that “Student Care is not important if Teacher Care is not important.” Unfortunately, teacher care is not a priority in the educational system and because we continue to try to do more and more with less -it is affecting our work performance, families, and personal health. Teachers are important. Teachers are valuable. Teachers deserve to be at our best and our families and students deserve us at our best. That all starts with Teacher Care Now!
