Special Thoughts - Take Care of Each Other

At the beginning of our project, Paul and I identified several barriers that many Core French teachers (and other Itinerant Teachers) have to deal with. You can see our list in our first blog post (click here for the link). We addressed some of these barriers directly in this project and shared our resources and materials in previous posts and in the Toolkit that can be found by clicking on the three bars at the top of the blog’s main screen.


Addressing some of the other barriers requires a cooperative effort by classroom teachers, SERTs and school administrators. Being an itinerant teacher without a classroom and no travel time is hard work. We’ve created a little poster called ‘5 Tips to Support Our Itinerant Teachers’ that might serve as a gentle reminder for all of us (click here for the PDF).


Remember everybody, take care of each other. We’re all in this together.


Things I’m Grateful For:
- Working in a school with a tight-knit community of hardworking educators who have each other’s backs and take good care of each other


Things I’m Wondering About:
- I wonder if there is a difference in student and parent perceptions of Core French when the teacher has their own classroom. Does it send a message that it is valued more?
