Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Confessions of a PYP Teacher and the twelfth episode in our well-being series.As I am writing this episode, I can’t help but to reflect on my last year in Brussels.  I met so many people who had worked at the same job and complained of burnout and boreout.  This is not a criticism of them, but rather that system that they work in that could bring it about.  These were highly paid people in supposed interesting professions, but they were bored with what they were doing.  No matter how you talked about their work, they were no longer interested and were out on leave. This made me connected to how this connects with our profession as PYP educators.  These questions came to my mind.If teachers do burnout, do they also boreout?What is the fine line beneath the two? Is one more severe?Is one more preventable? How can we swing back into the “in” zone? If you want to find the answer to teacher boreout, be sure to listen to this episode.Thanks for listening!  Please join the epic learning journey at lugerlach.comJoin our Confessions of a PYP Teacher Facebook Group!  Let's have some fun!
