The term “burnout” is used often in our profession. But do we know what it means? For instance, why can we seem to not remember things anymore, or experience word finding difficulties? K-12 participants will learn why teaching is particularly susceptible to burnout, what is happening in their brain when burnout occurs, and be able to identify and implement steps to take within their classrooms to tackle it on a day to day basis. Participants will leave feeling seen and empowered to take steps toward a more positive teaching experience, no nap required. Please bring a laptop and/or notebook for note taking if desired.
