24. Teacher Pep Talk: Avoiding Perfectionism So You Can Save Your Teaching Career


Listen Later

We need to have a little chat about teacher perfectionism. Though many teachers will unapologetically announce to you that they are a "perfectionist," this is a slippery slope that can lead you on the fast track to burnout. This personality trait is not necessarily something you should be proud of but rather something that can lead you to resenting your career and heading for LinkedIn.

Here's the thing. It does not have to be that way. Striving and perfectionism are not the same thing and in this episode, I am going to share with you a little bit about the post that inspired this episode, give you some tips and strategies to avoiding perfectionism so you can save your career, and then bring that motivation you need to start turning this idea around!
