UPCOMING WORKSHOP: The Writing Code (See here)
If you’re a Muslim teacher feeling overworked, overwhelmed, or stuck... it’s time to
Refocus Your Teacher Lens.
Which means understanding how hidden assumptions and mental models shape your teaching, and your emotions. Through focused reflection specific to teacher struggles, you’ll begin to see your classroom, your choices, and your energy in a whole new way,making your teaching feel more manageable, fulfilling, and sustainable.
Chances are, for a while now, you’ve been down with Headless Chook Syndrome for a while:
Lesson plans, marking, meetings, student behaviour, and at times parent expectations…which all pile up, leaving you running on empty and blaming the system for overworking you.
And the planning hacks, behaviour management strategies, time-saving apps, or professional development sessions just don’t stick long enough to actually work.
You’re ready to question how you see your teaching and your classroom, so that you can backtrack and focus on what actually works. One that starts from the inside, at the level of your mind and beliefs, instead of just perfecting band-aid strategies.
Through this 5-day reset, you’ll be able to Refocus Your Teacher Lens on what will make a difference to your overworked day; lessons that uncover the importance of understanding hidden assumptions and mental models shaping your daily experience, to start showing up more collected and effective in your classroom.
Day 1:
Shift 1: Framing your feelings & struggles
where your struggles really come from and what you might be craving through them.
Day 2 (two days later):
Shift 2: How your belief adds to burnout
why your mindset fuels exhaustion, and how your response to it adds fuel to the fire.
Day 3 (two days later):
Shift 3: Deeper confessions of your teacher soul
side-effects to your response to burnout, and its hamster wheel impact on your already vicious cycles of teacher grind.
Day 4 (two days later):
Shift 4: Redefining your teaching success
what a fully healthy, functioning teacher body looks like based on understanding what you’re really craving (from Day 1).
Day 5 (two days later):
Shift 5: Integrating and sustaining your balance
integrating your new teacher-power model through a Muslim lens so that it lasts for you specifically.
By the end, you'll have uncovered the underlying patterns in your teaching challenges, explored what they reveal about your mindset and habits, and be prepared to focus intentionally on the areas that will transform your teaching.
