5 Tips to Avoid Teacher Burnout
This article is a must read for those teachers who are just starting out, as well as veteran teachers. I know that I went through a lot during my first year of teaching and some of these tips have worked out well. One tip that I learned early on was to go home! I would stay at the school setting up my classroom and getting things ready that I would get incredibly stressed. I learned that sometimes you need to leave it behind. These tips are simple to follow and think about.
I liked the go home part of the story. I always make sure to leave at 3 (except for meetings, IEP's, and more) to see my wife and our son. On the other hand I am up very early and arrive at school 2 hours before school starts to catch up on my work!
ReplyDeleteI also read this article and it reminded me of the simple things we can do to continue to be effective teachers. Too many of us are caught up in getting everything done, as there is always something to do. This is my second year, and I am already better about "going home". :)
