For a profession that interacts with so many people on a daily basis teaching can be a very isolating profession. Most of the day is spent in classrooms as the only adult or on supervision trying to fit in conversations with colleagues in between the bells. As a result the prep (staff, lunch work) room is important in a school as a space for professional discussion, lesson planning, collegial support, sharing, debating, laughing and venting.
As I am now in a district support position I have created this space as a virtual prep room to support all of the above just without the stained carpet and uncomfortable furniture.
