Knowing where you stand

Most faculty members work from home from time to time, but never-the-less they rely on a change of environment (the classroom) to engage with students and be in the mindset to teach. The loss of that dynamic can be disorienting and the result can impact both you as the faculty member, your students, and your home life.

It's important to focus on your own wellbeing so that you can steer the ship through choppy waters.

Luckily, a lot of teachers, instructors, trainers, and faculty successfully work from home on a regular basis - and you can, too.

Actionable Items

• A vast majority of the work is spent making sure that other people have what they need to be successful. Take time to do a personal inventory to make sure your needs are met - technical, emotional, physical and otherwise.
• Prioritize breaks away from your "working space".
• Ask yourself "Is what I'm saying to myself about this situation reasonable and realistic?"
• Give yourself opportunities to try different types of self-care. Find what works for you.
