You know I think AI is amazing and can helps save us time with lesson planning and personalizing learning. But let’s keep it real, AI is not a magic solution to all our teacher burnout problems, despite what some companies try to tell you.  That's why I want to dive into the realities of AI's role in education as well as its capabilities, limitations, and its impact on teacher burnout.

There are so many AI tools out there that teachers can utilize to reduce the amount of time and mental energy needed to complete some tasks but there are no AI tools that can solve the systemic problems in education or provide human connection. In this episode, we are looking at why AI alone cannot solve burnout, what it can help us with, and what we need to focus on instead to truly beat burnout in education.

Teaching can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be the source of trauma for many educators. Whether it be experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event in the classroom or experiencing trauma from the lack of support and increasing demands of teaching, this trauma can be incredibly taxing and can lead teachers to leave the classroom. 

This is a topic that was asked about inside the Resilient Teacher community on Facebook and I think so many teachers can relate. In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of reentering the classroom after trauma, insights on how to rebuild in a way that truly protects your well-being, practical strategies for managing stress and finding renewed confidence, and how to create a sustainable approach to teaching that keeps your well-being top of mind.

How many times have you been told to “find your why” or “remember your why” when you are feeling burnt out and exhausted? To be honest, it’s simply not helpful. Knowing your why originally was meant to inspire and encourage teachers but now, it’s become a source of anxiety and guilt for many. But how can we move away from this toxic idea of “remembering our why”?

Teachers are so often told to focus entirely on the students, on the school, on the community, on the difference they’re making, etc. The thing is, when you are focusing solely on everyone else and taking on more and more responsibilities, there is no room for taking care of us as individuals. In this episode, I am sharing how we can move away from these toxic ideas and redefine our purpose, reclaim our joy in teaching, and how you can find a “why” that fuels you and empowers you instead of draining you

So many teachers are feeling the pressure to keep up with all the new technology in their classrooms. As beneficial as technology can be, it can also be overwhelming when you already have a full plate or are feeling burnt out. That is why it is key to find a balance between embracing these new technologies without giving in to the pressure to use every new tool that comes out. 

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Rachelle Dene Poth to chat about her journey as an educator and the various different roles she holds as well as her experience with teacher burnout and her favorite strategies for combating burnout. We also dive into how to choose the best tools for you, her top tools for educators, utilizing AI for feedback, and the do’s and don’ts of AI in education.
