Whether you’re an infant, toddler, preschool, or school-age teacher, the concept of teacher burnout should be something that you are aware of and familiar with. Teachers, having a very stressful job, are at higher risk of professional burnout from prolonged stress and increasing pressure. This course will deliver valuable information about the causes, signs, and potential avoidance techniques to aid teachers and administration in issues related to teacher burnout. This important information will be coupled with discussions, scenarios to be analyzed and questions to check for understanding.      

Learning Outcomes:

• Discuss the causes of burnout
• Explain the difference between stress and burnout
• Identify the signs of burnout
• State some preventative measures for avoiding burnout for teachers and directors .
