Hi Elona,
I just played the game. Were you surprised because your ‘Well-Being’ points were low? I found that the game was flawed against this category. A) I think I drew on 2 questions that even touched on that category. The majority of questions centered on the other categories, and B) one of my answers – coaching an after school activity – lost well-being points, though I find it adds to my well-being as it is a time that is fun and allows me to work out while working with students!
So, I don’t think this is a fair way to judge a teacher’s life balance.
Tracy,
My career points were low, and my student points were off the scale. I just thought it was fun to play the game because it made me stop and think about things. I wonder what other people will find.
I think I was too stressed to notice.
Well my students were at 0 and I only had 1 question address this. It was fun to play though LOL.
Tina, thanks for taking the time to share your results.
My results were something like 50 for career and for students, but 0 for well-being…and I don’t remember what the last category was but it was around 30 if I remember correctly.
I’ve played it three times now and at last I’m pretty balanced- well almost.
