Hey Fellow Educator! I’m Kelsey, but better known as Educator Kae across my social platforms. I am a professional educator that is determined to continuously find joy in life and in the classroom.
I remember the day I interviewed for my first teaching position. I was so excited and eager to put my skills to practice and impact the lives of my students. I got the job and thought that excitement would stay forever. Truthfully, that fire inside me began to fade a bit.
A bit of overwhelm set in as I attempted to juggle the many tasks before me with very little strategy. Learning new technology programs, differentiating instruction, lesson planning, maintaining classroom management, and attending countless meetings (along with my other professional responsibilities) pulled me into so many directions. Even with these challenges, I LOVE education still.
Instead of running away from my passion because of the challenges, I found ways to perfect my craft and find JOY even when it seemed difficult. I became more strategic in how I approached my daily tasks and connected with other educators to build professional community.
Through my social platforms I share experiences inside and beyond the classroom, because educators have lives too. So here I am; managing an enjoyable life while being productive and effective within my profession.
I’m an educator that is experiencing this journey in real-time and creating a space for educator professionals to bring that spark and love back for this necessary work. And find JOY while doing so.
Thanks for being here!
Educator Kae
