Hi. Iām Matt; or ā as my pupils loved to call me - Mr B. Two years ago I was torn from the classroom to become a full-time Daddy and carer for my beloved wife, following a devastating diagnosis of cancer. So when it comes to the value of a work-life balance: I get it. Our world was turned upside down last year, when she tragically left our lives ā even now itās hard to accept. But now, I really get it.
Throughout my career, I was one of the rare lucky ones: a teacher with a healthy work-life balance. But - for many ā the struggle isnāt just real; it's become normalized. Your deteriorating work-life balance hasnāt gone unnoticed; and yet it remains unchanged ā until now. You canāt change what you canāt measure. Now - for the very first time ā our fit2teach platform gives you the tools to measure your work-life balance. And change is on the way.
I promised my wife Iād chase the dream of launching fit2teach. Now ā with the help of Austin and Martyn ā itās here; and Iām getting my mojo back. Together weāre helping teachers become more conscious of their work-life balance and wellbeing; and ā with more content added all the time ā weāre only just getting started. Sign-up for free to say enough is enough; to join a community of teachers just like you. Because talk is cheap; and ā in case youāve never been told ā the most important person in your classroom is YOU.
On behalf of myself, Martyn, Austin and the team ā welcome aboard.
