I have spoken at great lengths about not comparing yourself to others, but I have noticed it happening more and more as the pandemic/crisis teaching continues and teachers are burnt out. Teachers are struggling as their plates get fuller and support wains.

Although I only taught for a quarter of the pandemic, I taught during the great recession, budget cuts, and a school board takeover that had teachers fleeing the district I was in. I’ve been stretched so thin that I broke. I discuss tips for dealing with overwhelm and what to focus on when you are short on time.

There are lots of little tips and tricks to help you through stressful times in all of this. However, we are in different times, so ask yourself one question when it’s all too much.

Join me as I discuss this question.
