Overcoming Teacher Burnout (ePub)

Being a teacher is hard, though rewarding work. The efforts that go into solving students' educational and psychological problems, and the constant pressure associated with meeting professional requirements, often lead to stress, anxiety and burnout. And do not forget about the interaction with parents, who are often not ready to hear the teacher and do not always communicate respectfully. How in these circumstances not to lose inspiration, faith in the meaning of their activities and continue to enjoy communicating with children?

This book is divided into twelve parts - each month is dedicated to its own topic: living complex emotions, working with anger, developing curiosity, transforming thoughts and beliefs, and others. Week after week, you will read about another common problem faced by teachers, find out how psychologists, sociologists and neuroscientists see its solution, and develop a skill that makes it possible to get around this obstacle.
The weekly chapters include practice and reflection questions that will lead you to think about what else you can do in this direction to take care of yourself.
This carefully thought-out plan by the author will inspire you throughout the year, despite the difficulties and unexpected twists, without which the teacher's path cannot do.

We are sure that thanks to a lot of useful tips and exercises based on the principles of positive psychology, the theory of emotional intelligence and mindfulness practices, this book will help you in moments of frustration and fatigue. And you will not survive waiting for the next vacation, but thrive and enjoy your work.
