A Burned Out Teacher Just Wants Out

I just found this response on the internet when I was researching teacher burnout. The sad thing about this is  it is so common among teachers today...and it doesn't have to be.

I am really burned out after 7years. I am quitting teaching at the end of this year. Please do not get the idea that I am some horrible troubled teacher. I am even teacher of the year this year. I am just simply exhausted and stressed. I have already gone to the district and resigned. My last day will be June 3. I will never go back. I am going to take your advise to get through the last few months. This is a profession that I would never recommend to anyone.

You're a Teacher and Proud Of It

I was giving a presentation to a group of teachers
recently when a young teacher came up to me and told me that
whenever someone asked what she did for a living she was
reluctant to tell them.  " There's just so much anti teacher feeling  in society today."
I tried to convince her to take pride
in telling the world what her profession was and to never feel
embarrassed to shout from the rooftop. " I am a teacher!"

Relaxation For Teachers

10 WAYS TO RELAX DURING YOUR BUSY DAY By Mike Moore

1. Take three deep breaths slowly. It really works to relax the body and mind.

2. Relax the tongue. Usually the tongue is held tightly against the teeth. Free it up in the mouth so it can just rest there without tension.

3. Take one minute vacations. In your mind visit places where you find peace and stillness. Picture yourself there soaking up the beauty and solitude.

4. Relax your facial muscles. When we are tense we frown and squint which adds to the tension. Tell your facial muscles to relax and they will. Try to maintain this relaxed face throughout the day.

5. Move slowly. When you find yourself rushing for no reason, SLOW DOWN.

6. Laugh more. Laughter cuts stress and promotes relaxation.

7. Listen to beautiful music. Mozart calms the restless spirit.

8. Watch and enjoy the sunset.

9. Visualize yourself as a balloon being inflated. As you breathe in, the balloon fills with your stress and tension. Then breathe out all the stress and tension leaving yourself limp and relaxed.

10. Enjoy the rhythm and beauty of nature for its lessons are patience and peace.

RELAX FOR EASY POWER.

REMEMBER THAT RECREATION ISN'T RELAXATION, IT'S DIVERSION.
