  • Too much change stretches teachers thin and leads to burnout

  • Spend some time when you are not thinking about the classroom, and stay connected to your support group of friends and family
  • One of the easiest ways to burn out as a teacher is to get stuck in the same routine and practices year after year. Keep it fresh by reading new research on teaching, and by learning, talking, and collaborating with peers inside and outside of your school building
  • Give teachers opportunities to connect with each other about their teaching. When they don't have time or opportunities to connect, share, and plan together during the day, they start feeling isolated.
  • knowing what others are doing in their classrooms, and seeing how your work fits into the bigger picture is motivating, inspiring, and increases feelings of self-worth
  • Incorporate humor and laughter into your classroom

Teacher Appreciation-That Matters - President's Blog - 0 views

  • few schools provide systematic, long-term, programs to help teachers master their craft. Pre-service training is brief, mentoring is spotty, one-time workshops abound. Independent schools have often made a virtue of giving teachers a classroom and wishing them well—autonomy to the able, too often "sink or swim."
  • The goal must be to provide ongoing professional development that moves an entire faculty forward, consistent with the school's vision and core values.
  • New teachers, whether experienced or not, participate in a three-year program—yes, three years—of thoughtfully scaffolded skills matched to the school's chosen direction for teaching and learning. Some topics reinforce the school's traditional strengths; others reflect the major strains of innovation
