Most teachers feel, at one point or another in their careers, the dreaded BURNOUT.You may not even know you’re suffering from burn-out until it’s too late, so it’s important to keep a close eye on your own attitude and health.Teachers aren’t used to keeping watch over themselves, but we are just as important as our students and our families!
- You’re bored with teaching and don’t feel there’s anything more to learn about your job.
- You bristle at suggestions of new ways to teach.
- You dream of perfection and judge your professional performance without mercy.
- You are plagued by the feeling that you should be doing more at school, even though you’re working hard.
- . . . You feel more comfortable doing paperwork than interacting with students, colleagues, and parents.
- You can’t remember why you went into teaching – or find yourself saying, ‘If only I hadn’t majored in education.’
- Teaching isn’t fun for you any more, and you complain about it incessantly.You take your frustrations home and can’t get them out of your mind.
- You count the days until the next break or summer vacation.
- You worry excessively about your students and their problems.
- You don’t take good care of yourself.You eat poorly, don’t get enough sleep, have let hobbies lapse, resort to unhealthy outlets for stress, and so on.
