WTBOTT Season 2 Episode #4: When Staff Meeting Yoga Isn’t Enough: Real Talk About Teacher Burn Out

Will This Be On The Test? Teacher Pod

Are you ready to scream when you hear the words "self care?" Have you pondered throwing something at an admin when they mention "free massages" for staff, but also say "nothing in the budget for pencils"? Are you actively daydreaming about finding a new career, instead of doing your lesson plans? Well, this episode is for you! We sat down with Chase Mielke, teacher and author of "The Burnout Cure: Learning to Love Teaching Again," to discuss the strategies he used when he was at his wits end, as well as what else is needed for teachers to feel satisfied, valued, and motivated. And no, it wasn't pizza in the staffroom (although that's never a bad thing).

Here is a link to Chase's website: https://affectiveliving.com/

And to his very readable book, highly recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/Burnout-Cure-Learning-Teaching-Again-ebook/dp/B07PMB1H1C
