Self-efficacy matters, most definitely. But self-efficacy doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's hard to have self-efficacy when systems are not set up for teachers to succeed. Even the best teachers can't overcome a broken system through self-efficacy.

Please check out my reasoning why I believe that teachers should embrace being "teacherpreneurs."

The recent video shared by Nicholas Ferroni highlighting the extreme pressures and expectations placed on educators, even in situations of illness or terminal conditions, is a stark reminder of the often overlooked realities of the teaching profession. It's a wake-up call to society to recognize the true value and challenges of educators. Too often, the dedication of teachers is taken for granted. The expectation to work through sickness, and in extreme cases, terminal illness, is a testament to the unreasonable demands placed on them. It's not just about the physical act of teaching; it's about the emotional and mental toll it takes. This video sheds light on the harsh truth that educators are often expected to prioritize their profession over their health and well-being. This scenario speaks volumes about the current state of our educational system and the need for a fundamental change in how we view and treat our educators. It's time to acknowledge that teachers are not just conduits of knowledge but are individuals with their own lives, health, and well-being. As a society, we need to ask ourselves: How can we better support our educators? How can we create an environment where their health and well-being are as prioritized as their commitment to teaching? This is not just about improving working conditions; it's about reshaping our understanding and appreciation of the teaching profession and recognizing above all else...THEIR HUMANITY. #TeacherLife #TeacherShortage #TeachersServeToo #TeachersDeserveBetter
