Teachers: Stay Warm & Present with EarthBae
Let me introduce you to Joyce and her story.
A 15-year veteran elementary teacher, grade team lead, and outdoor duty coordinator, Joyce describes herself as a "reformed cold weather complainer." Her passion for creating engaging learning environments and knack for turning outdoor duty into learning opportunities made her the perfect person to share what teaching life is really like in the cold.
The Real Teacher Talk: (Collected from our nationwide teacher survey of 500+ educators)
"I love teaching, but..." • "My students think I'm dancing when I'm actually shivering during morning duty" • "I can't write proper behavior documentation with frozen fingers" • "My teacher voice gets lost somewhere between my chattering teeth" • "Professional development never covered how to maintain authority while wearing a snuggie"
A Day in Joyce's Teaching Life:
7:15 AM - Morning Duty "Good mor-mor-morning! Yes, I can help with that backpack... once I regain feeling in my fingers."
8:30 AM - Classroom Time Thermostat wars begin "No, we can't open the windows just because you're hot from recess when half the class is still thawing."
10:15 AM - Recess Duty "Is that my whistle making that weird sound, or are my teeth chattering?"
12:00 PM - Lunch Duty "If I stand next to the cafeteria warming lamp, does it still count as proper supervision?"
2:30 PM - Afternoon Activities "Yes, I can help with the science experiment... just let me defrost my hands first."
3:15 PM - Dismissal "No, parents, I'm not waving goodbye - I'm trying to restore circulation."
What Administration Doesn't Understand: Joyce shares the common frustrations: • Cold teachers = distracted teachers • Frozen fingers can't handle behavioral documentation • Shivering affects "teacher presence" • Multiple layers restrict "proximity control" • Cold discomfort impacts classroom management
Perspectives from Joyce's Teaching Team:
Emma, School Counselor: "When teachers are physically uncomfortable, it affects their: • Patience levels • Engagement quality • Behavioral management • Student connection • Professional presence"
Mike, PE Teacher: "Movement is key to effective teaching. Try maintaining proximity control while wearing your entire winter wardrobe."
Sara, Fellow Teacher: "Our students pick up on our discomfort. When we're focused on staying warm, we miss crucial behavioral cues."
Joyce's Teaching Transformation:
Before EarthBae: ❌ Multiple layers under professional clothes ❌ Hand warmers in every pocket ❌ Classroom blanket hidden in desk ❌ The "I'm not cold" dance during observations ❌ Constant distraction from discomfort
After EarthBae: ✓ Professional appearance maintained ✓ Full mobility for teaching ✓ Consistent classroom presence ✓ Better student engagement ✓ Actually enjoying outdoor duty
The EarthBae Difference in Joyce's Classroom: • 4 heating zones keep teachers mobile and effective • 3 temperature settings for unpredictable school conditions • Professional design works with teacher wardrobes • Amazon Prime shipping (because teachers need solutions now) • Affordable price point (because we know about those classroom supply receipts)
"For the first time in 15 years, I volunteered for extra duty. My principal nearly fainted." - Joyce
Why This Matters for Teachers: As Joyce discovered, comfortable teachers are: • Better at classroom management • More effective during duty supervision • More engaged with students • Maintaining professional presence • Increasing teaching effectiveness

Joyce's Message to Fellow Teachers: "Remember why we chose this profession? It wasn't to count down the minutes until indoor time. It was to make a difference. To teach. To inspire. To be present. We can't do that when we're frozen."
