Creating Boundaries And Overcoming Burnout: A Conversation With Author/Teacher Dawn LeRoux
This week on Season 2 Episode 15, I speak to Dawn Le Roux a teacher in Mauritius, an island off of the coast of Madagascar and author of the book Ripple Effects- You're Not Crazy: Teaching In A New Era, about how teachers can create systematic change through rewriting the "good teacher" narrative, building an internal sanctuary, becoming comfortable in conflict and establishing clear boundaries. After dealing with her final burnout during the pandemic Dawn faced the choice of choosing herself or choosing teaching. We learn about how she overcame her burnout and in turn wrote a book about this journey
Dawn teaches Biology, Environmental Sciences, and General Sciences to ages 12-18. She was the youngest appointee as departmental Head of Science at the age of 27, and has successfully led the
department from strength to strength since she took up the position in 2019. She holds a Bachelor of Sciences (Hons) from the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, specialising in Human Sciences and Neuropsychology. She lives in Mauritius with her family
