Episode 465: Monday Mindset: Quiet Quitting
from Teaching Middle School ELA Hosted by Caitlin Mitchell
This week's Monday Mindset is all about quiet quitting, teacher burnout, and reclaiming control over how we experience our teaching lives. Teaching middle school ELA can be exhausting, but what happens when frustration and burnout start taking away the pride and joy we once felt in the classroom? Caitlin introduces the CTFAR method (Circumstance, Thought, Feeling, Action, Result), a practical framework to help you recognize what you can't control and focus on what you can. Through a personal story about a 13-hour emergency room visit with her child, she shares how changing our thoughts can change our experience, even when our circumstances stay the same. This isn't about ignoring the challenges of teaching. It's about setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and choosing how you want to show up for yourself and your students.
