Teacher Love Project

Why Teacher Wellness is Important to Achievement for All

​​

 

The Teacher Love Project is a heartfelt community initiative founded by The Promise Group, dedicated to uplifting and supporting educators. By fostering a nurturing environment and providing resources grounded in faith and compassion, we aim to empower teachers as they inspire and guide the next generation.

 

One of the foundational beliefs of Promise Informed Schools is that we must build protective factors on behalf of entities that support achievement for all.  Teachers are the most important to this vision and therefore, their wellness must be priority.   By implementing and enforcing protective factors for wellness such as support, encouragement, and consideration teachers can be guarded and protected to ensure they are socially and emotionally well to perform at the highest levels for our students.  To realize better outcomes for our teachers and students we must commit to the promise of care and love for our teachers to fortify their rightful opportunity to be happier, healthier, more focused, and highly effective.

 

“Average teachers teach a skill until students get it right.  Highly Effective teachers work with students 

until they can’t get it wrong.”  ~Eric Jensen, educational expert

A Promise Informed belief is that when communities are equipped to offer strategic support and care for teachers, they are not only able to champion the most influential people in education, they are also able to guard the most valuable and reciprocal resource teachers have - each other.

“The most valuable resource teachers have is each other"

~Robert John Meehan, referred to as“The Voice of the American Teacher”

 

Teacher Love Project is win win for education. It provides communities a means by which to organize and begin to care for and encourage teachers.   It is a blend of practical and strategic work for a basic yet essential need. Though it is only part of a bigger picture solution for addressing the promise of achievement for all, it is a worthy and significant contribution that can make a transformative impact.
