Teacher burnout is not new. Yes, the numbers of teachers exiting the profession are rapidly increasing, but this is the result of a problem that has existed for decades. In most traditional schools, all five of the prerequisites for high turnover are present:
Work Overload
Lack of Input
Insufficient Rewards
Breakdown of Community
Value Conflicts
Removing these barriers to teacher job satisfaction is tricky, because they are often controlled by state and federal entities that are far removed from individual buildings and staff.
Teachers and administrators must find a way to co-exist with mandates while still providing organic, human-centered environments to one another and to the students.
What is the solution?
Speaker and author Laurie Gabriel has been an educator since 1980. She has witnessed many changes to the occupation and has watched with dismay as many of her colleagues succumbed to job overwhelm, from a first-year teacher who only made it three months, to some of her peers who chose suicide as an exit.
This has fueled Laurie’s passion for finding solutions. She spent 5 years traveling the USA interviewing educators and innovators in public school and private school settings, and has created a system for creating the best possible work environment for teachers and principals within the existing restraints of government mandates.
Laurie’s programs include:
-
Quick mental reset activities
-
Strategies for reducing workload and redundancies
-
A personalized system for connecting teachers, principals, and students on a human level
