Every day, teachers across the world face the daunting task of nurturing young minds, often at the expense of their own well-being. This Teacher Appreciation Week, I'm tipping my hat to these unsung heroes and shedding light on the challenges they face within the teaching profession. From ethical dilemmas like grade inflation to the stifling effects of micromanagement, we have an open conversation about the signs of a toxic teaching environment.

If you've ever felt the weight of a negative work environment or wondered about your future in teaching, this episode is for you. We discuss ways to create a healthier professional atmosphere that reignites the passion for teaching and brings back the joy of making a difference in the classroom. Join me and explore strategies for building a trusting environment that supports both teachers and students.
