Remember your first year of teaching? You’d stay up until 3 a.m. planning out a lesson or rush home to grade a stack of essays. You spent hours tweaking the curriculum to meet every learner’s needs and you knocked yourself out trying to reach the at-risk kids.
Now your briefcase feels heavy when you lug it home. You use lesson plans from three years ago, maybe five years ago. You watch the game on t.v. instead of reading the new textbook. Those hard-to-reach kids are someone else’s problem. You’re so emotionally exhausted that it’s all you can do to care about anyone but yourself and your family, let alone someone else’s kids.
Teacher emotional exhaustion is when teachers feel that they can no longer give of themselves to students as they did earlier in their careers. Inside the School’s 20-Minute Trainer How Can I Prevent Emotional Exhaustion? will help you reconnect with your passion that originally drew you to the profession. Presenter Nathan Eklund, M.Ed. uses his experiences as a high school teacher and coach to explain ways to overcome this sense of exhaustion by identifying areas that are "energy- giving" rather than "energy-taking."
Imagine coming to work every day feeling refreshed and eager to begin the day’s lesson plan. Eklund’s 20-minute presentation will help you concentrate on becoming personally and professionally satisfied. When we teachers are at our best, our students are, too. This awareness is at the core of professional improvement but is often overlooked. How Can I Prevent Emotional Exhaustion? puts this mindset at the center of discussion.
Emotional exhaustion can affect people in many different ways. A 2008 Quaglia Institute survey shows that nearly half of our students think teachers don’t enjoy working with them. We give so much to our teaching jobs that our emotional exhaustion begins to show. We know it. The kids know it. Teachers are impacted differently by what is important to them and can become exhausted for many reasons. View How Can I prevent Emotional Exhaustion? to learn how to end your emotional exhaustion and teach like you enjoy working with students.
