Kicking Off a Brain-Friendly School Year

The NEA recently found that 55 percent of its members are now thinking about leaving the profession earlier than they had originally planned…

Kicking off this upcoming school year with laughter, joy, wellness, and mental health is our best hope for teacher retention and our kids’ futures.

Much has been digitally aired and written about "The Great Resignation." Did you know that teachers have joined this club? It’s called — not too cleverly, but accurately — “The Great Teacher Resignation.”

The NEA recently found that 55 percent of its members are now thinking about leaving the profession earlier than they had originally planned. (For proof I didn't just make this up, see this local news report from Florida.)

And you know, I love a good joke, but this sadly is not one of them. The number of teachers exiting schools nationwide is yet another in a not-so-short list of OMG emergencies our country is unprepared to deal with.

So, enter funny educator Tim Clue to the rescue? Yeah, right! We know that laughter is a connector and healer and even an expeditious bit of catharsis — but I’m traditionally only hired for a day, not the entire year!

Injecting Humor and Positivity into a Teacher's Life

Thinking of a teacher's stress level is enough to make a yogi whisky up during meditations. It sounds so simple, but it's important to inject humor and positivity into a teacher's life to give them the necessary life support to keep flow and momentum so they may more easily stumble on the next ah, ha moment to jettison a young minds forward.

It sounds so simple, but it's important to inject humor and positivity into a teacher's life to give them the necessary life support to keep flow and momentum so they may more easily stumble on the next ah, ha moment to jettison a young minds forward.

Hello, my name is Tim Clue. I am a funny motivational speaker, no joke, and an SEL LOL expert for educators to boot.

Sit comfortably, relax and keep reading this blog if you wish to know more about how my laughter sessions impact the teacher's life with humor and positivity.

A Connected Classroom with A Smart Delivery:

A connected classroom needs a smart delivery to keep the modern student and minds of all kinds engaged. This has been a natural skill of mine. But if you don't like someone who stands on random chairs, or brings shy people to the front for some improv freeze tag, then I am clearly not your cup of cortisol release.

Not Just Teaching Better But Leading With Enthusiasm

I'm bullish on Laughter's power to connect and inject new energy into a struggling program or combat some of the bureaucratic stressors that can build up among even the best team of cracker, jack educators. My tactical joy games are a repair and recharge process that makes educators not just teach better but lead with enthusiasm and, if done with fidelity, can swap out teacher retention programs with the more natural teacher attention to how their self-impacts the connection with students and peers.

Reading The Room and Matching The Moment

I understand that there are times educators need to simply relax and have a good laugh. I think checking out any of the links on my site, www.Funnyeducator.com, provides proof in the pudding, as they say. Perhaps my English teacher wouldn't approve of this cliché, but I know educators approve of the various ways we can achieve Laughter, joy, and renewal.

Giving Educators A Personal Morale Trainer

Every educator deserves their own personal morale trainer, but probably too pricey, so consider my capabilities to address this need in a large comedy spin class in which catharsis, via character and shared stories, places self and wellness in front of the room.

I'll discuss in my next blog the amazing power of my latest LOL engagement tool I call Funny Polling. This was content developed during our remote learning "hey, what's going on," daze and days, and has changed how I connect with live audiences moving forward. I promise no cliffhangers.

There's clearly never been a more important time to connect, reflect, and inject joy into our most "noble of professions!" Sorry if that's a trigger, it was meant as a clever wrap-up line, but you never know these days.

Educators Must Laugh to Release Stress

Are you looking for an SEL expert for educators? Be it SEL, PBL, LOL, or SOL, If an educator asks me about my Individualized Engagement plan, I always invite them to experience rather than explain. Words are a great medium, but not the arena to impart soft skills to our nation's youth or, in this case, teachers in need of fewer screens and more places to scream forward…

Are you looking for an SEL expert for educators? Be it SEL, PBL, LOL, or SOL, If an educator asks me about my Individualized Engagement plan, I always invite them to experience rather than explain. Words are a great medium, but not the arena to impart soft skills to our nation's youth or, in this case, teachers in need of fewer screens and more places to scream forward :-)

It's a metaphor, silly, for giving voice to find a better space to connect, create, and reinject the passions that made each educator choose such a noble profession with soulful rewards that don't always pay the proper price for sustained positivity and passion. I'll save underappreciated and underpaid for another day. Does anyone want to scream? See how I do that?

Hello, my name is Tim Clue. I am a funny motivational speaker, no joke, and an SEL LOL expert for educators to boot.

I wanted to point to the importance of offering intentional morale and engagement and then highlight the need to help educators laugh to impact their lives and also aid in a more connected school culture. I welcome you to my blog and issue a genuine concern for the moral quotient among all our nation's educators, and that includes you administrators!

Keeping educators, best spirits intact:

I conduct seminars and sessions that focus on making educators laugh and release stress. And My goodness, I've heard how rough it's been this year. I'd share my weighted blanket with you if that was an acceptable norm, but I think, or new sensitivity to germs has put a damper on Buffets, impulse desert shares, and compression blanket handouts to administrators. But what is trending is the need for inventive team building, morale, and joy to help all our educators through the year with their best spirits intact.

We've all been caught regaling teaching as the most 'noble of professions.' But this platitude, perhaps, is why teachers are given more lip service than actual life support. Our educators need LOL lifelines of all kinds, and my funny facilitation is a specific kind of defibrillator to revive and let our nation's mind mentors thrive.

Moving Towards A Connected Classroom:

I think the kids call this a humble brag, but I'm a celebrated celebration speaker for school kick-offs and convocation days. Principles who get it understand how comedy and improv is the best answer for our sometimes-disconnected teachers. "Say it ain't so!" but yes, it happens. A teacher's classroom, while mostly a haven for learning, can also be a silo regarding quality time to connect with peers in a genuine way. I call my enrichment, keynote, or professional training and development "The Connected Classroom." And what the "classroom rejoins" are not just teachers to their best instincts as mentors but builds pathways to other like-minded experts to collaborate and connect long-term.

This kind of ripple can have an untold impact on students. Suddenly, teachers may connect and develop a program to diagnose early reading challenges among several grades rather than one teacher who seems to have a knack in their own classroom. Suddenly an entire school is known as a school where (no reader is left behind.) Whoops, sorry if that's a trigger phrase, but you get the point; community builds possibilities and programs that can endure and change lives.

Combing Great Energies For Big Changes:

Sometimes serious discussions move faster with less serious agents at the helm.

Teachers are role models that educate but also guide children toward hopefully a positive outlook on their own best minds and best practices, and that's multitasking at its highest level. And big changes within schools happen when great teachers combine great energies, and sometimes that takes a prompt from a LOL team builder and funny facilitator like me.

Not Just A Teacher, But A Humorous Companion:

“Using Humor to Connect with Kids:

Kids don’t just want an educator; they want a humorous companion. Laughter is a vital part of a child’s life, and being able to share that laughter with a teacher can create a bond that extends far beyond the classroom. That’s why the role of the best educational motivational speakers, who expertly blend humor into their teacher training, is becoming increasingly significant.

If you want to learn how to be a humorous companion for children, keep reading.

Start with Yourself

Humor comes naturally and cannot be forced. The first step to becoming a funny partner for children is to start with yourself. Find humor in small things and make them a part of your life. Try to be creative and find out how small things can become funny moments for kids. Kids become more engaged and enthusiastic learners when there is a humorous aspect to the lesson.

Incorporate Humor into Studies

There is a scope for fun and humor in everything, from literature to small science experiments. For instance, explaining a science experiment through a funny team-building activity is sure to resonate with the kids. Since young minds show interest and participate keenly, the information resonates in their minds longer.

Highlight Their Humor

A relationship is never one-sided. As much as it is essential to be humorous, it is equally important to appreciate children’s humor. A gentle smile with words of appreciation takes their participation to the next level. Let the kids feel that their sense of humor is something that draws attention and drives others to laugh.

Sharing Is caring: Vulnerability Is There Gain

Kids love hearing funny and embarrassing stories about their teachers. These tales create a bond between the teacher and student, making the learning experience more enjoyable. By sharing a funny experience, teachers can connect with their students on a personal level and create a welcoming and comfortable classroom environment.

Conclusion:

Realizing the value and benefits of humor and laughter, educational and motivational speakers are training teachers to incorporate the same into their teaching routines. Humor is among the most seamless ways to make kids learn something that resonates in their minds for a long time.
