Teacher, are you feeling overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout?
We’ve all been there. We put pressure on ourselves to be the best because we want our students to have the best. Our administration puts pressure on us to collect the data, improve the test scores, do something new, achieve more. Teaching can feel overwhelming. Add to the job, the pressure to succeed in life outside of work.
We understand the challenges you face, and that’s why we’ve brought in the amazing Jamie Sears, author and educator, to address the pressing issue of preventing teacher burnout in this episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast. When Jamie left her job in the political sphere and went back to school to get an education degree, she was told: “You can’t be a good mom and a good teacher. You’re going to fail at one.” She would beg to differ.
Jamie Sears creates curriculum and delivers professional development for elementary educators through The Not So Wimpy Teacher Company. She has also authored the book How to Love Teaching Again: Work Smarter, Beat Burnout, and Watch Your Students Thrive.
In our conversation with the Not So Wimpy Teacher, Jamie shares powerful strategies to empower teachers with efficiency, overcome exhaustion, and find renewed joy in teaching!
If you’re tired of feeling drained and want to create a sustainable work-life balance, this episode is truly a game-changer. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to regain control and revolutionize your teaching experience!
