This year was a big transition year for teachers at both PHS and ACMS. Due to administrative changes as well as future-ready planning, building renovations, and grade-level reconfiguration, there was a lot of stress and emotion. Having built trusting relationships with many staff members over the years, a lot of our coaching conversations also required me to listening with empathy and understanding to teachers' concerns. I recognize that I'm not qualified to give professional advice, especially when it comes to people's emotional wellness, but my door was always open and I was there to listen.
