In this episode, Gina and Andrew will take a closer look at the widespread problem of teacher burnout and how it affects both the well-being of educators and their ability to be effective in the classroom. We'll dive into the different reasons why school leaders and teachers experience burnout, including the heavy demands of their jobs, the constant pressure to meet expectations, and the emotional toll that comes with caring for students day in and day out. We aim to provide listeners with useful insights and practical tips on how to identify the signs of burnout, address the underlying causes, and how school leaders can support their staff, ensuring a healthier and more sustainable approach to teaching and leading.
