5 signs a teacher is heading for burnout before they realise it themselves:
They're the last to leave and the first to arrive, every day, not occasionally
They've stopped doing the thing that used to recharge them
They say "I'm fine, just tired" on a weekly basis
Small things are starting to feel disproportionately hard
They can't remember the last time they were fully present outside of work
If you recognise yourself in this list, that's not weakness. That's information.
The earlier you act on it, the easier the recovery.
Which one hit closest to home? (You don't have to answer publicly — but notice your reaction.)
