“But you get paid for summer break!” - a typical comment of someone who has never been a teacher.
Imagine you’re in a room with 25-35 five year olds (or fifteen year olds), who all need your attention RIGHT NOW! Who each come with a whole host of home-life history, emotional baggage, unique learning styles, and interests. Who crave your energy and undivided attention all at the same time.
And on top of it, you’re grossly underpaid, criticized by the general public, AND your job is threatened every year due to budget cuts.
While we all experience
energy transfer, teachers are particularly prone to energy depletion — and there is research to back this up! Given their service-oriented natures and the demands of their job, teachers often give of themselves at a faster rate than their cups are being filled.
Overwhelm…burnout… mass exodus of teachers…
There are no clearer signs that every administrator needs to prioritize an energy rejuvenation and reset for teachers IMMEDIATELY. The future of our children depend on it.
If you need support in this area, I’d love to help. My workshops on “Tools for a Teacher’s Inner Peace” have immediately created a shift in energy for teachers - finally filling their cup from within… not with another tech tool, flashy strategy, or trendy ice breaker.
Want teachers to say “Wow! You just blew my mind!” — send me a message and let’s talk.
