This podcast episode dives into the concept of appreciating teachers beyond the typical gestures and explores how a 6 Pillar Framework can create a school environment where teachers truly feel valued. Allyson Apsey, author of "Leading the Whole Teacher," emphasizes that feeling seen and heard is crucial for teachers. Her six pillars from the book address this need:

Valued: This pillar goes beyond superficial appreciation events. It's about recognizing teachers as individuals, understanding their strengths, and creating a sense of belonging.
Emotional Safety: Feeling safe to take risks and experiment fosters a growth mindset. Interpersonal conflicts and a lack of trust is one of the highest-ranking factors that can shatter this safety, hindering teacher well-being.
Continuous Learner: When professional development aligns with teachers' interests and goals, it becomes a form of appreciation. It shows that the school values their growth and empowers them to take ownership of their learning journey.
Decision Maker: Involving teachers in decision-making processes demonstrates trust and respect for their expertise. It allows them to feel like valued contributors, not just followers of top-down mandates.
Positive Relationships: Allyson shares a simple (and concrete) check in system strengthens relationships and a sense of community and belonging.
Healthy Workload: Feeling overwhelmed and unsupported sends a clear message of undervaluing a teacher's time and effort. By creating a manageable workload, schools demonstrate that they appreciate the well-being of their teachers.

By implementing these six pillars, schools can move beyond empty gestures and create a culture of genuine appreciation where teachers feel seen, heard, and valued for their contributions.
