Have you found yourself in an extremely negative mindset lately regarding your career as a teacher?  Maybe you’ve thought or even said these words out loud, “I hate teaching!”

When you went into the field of education you had great aspirations for how you would change the lives of children and how you would make a positive impact on the world.  Yet here you are in this moment wondering how you became part of a system that isn’t what you thought.

This is a common thread in many discussions I’ve had with teachers over the last several months and years.  Most of us genuinely wanted to have a positive impact on the lives of the children who walked through our classroom doors, but somehow along the way, we found ourselves facing constant pushback from those needing specific numbers and test scores.

And since the pandemic of 2020, the very best teachers are leaving the profession daily to pursue other things.  So what should you do if you know that you can’t leave the classroom right now, but you’ve gotten to the point where your daily mantra is “I hate teaching?”

Well, that is exactly what we are going to discuss!  We are going to look at 5 things you can do to overcome the “I hate teaching” mentality.
