Burnout and Resilience
This course is for educators and managers who want to better understand the systemic causes for burnout, whether related to the pandemic or intrinsically related to the educational challenges we face daily. We will examine approaches to resolving these broader systemic issues, as well as on a personal level, we will explore techniques to relieve stress and proactively minimize medical impacts.
Description
The Covid pandemic triggered the biggest disruption to our education systems in many decades. Since then, almost half of teachers in the EU say that their work is stressful and almost one-fourth of all teachers say that stress affects their physical and mental health. The extended period of online teaching resulted in lowered academic standards, poor study habits, and negative classroom behaviors. For teachers, this has meant increased classroom management, higher workload and additional pressure from parents. For administrators, there is the stress of higher demands with fewer resources. Educators are leaving the profession at higher rates and it is often the most hard-working and dedicated teachers that experience burnout.
