How to survive teaching without losing yourself.

from Pedagogically Speaking Hosted by Ilana Huffer

Episode 13: I talk about being close to the end of term 2, and report cards leading to burnout in teaching, and we explore the signs, causes, and impact of burnout on educators. I emphasize the need for boundary-setting, self-care, and system redesign to address burnout effectively. Takeaways Burnout is a result of overloaded systems and requires system redesign, not shame. Educators should prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and focus on sustainable teaching practices. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Community Building 10:26 Impact of Report Card Season and Lack of Support 19:39 Minimum Viable Teacher Framework 27:13 Recognizing Burnout and Making Career Decisions
