Overcoming Teacher Burnout. Weekly Guide to Increasing Resilience

Being a teacher is a difficult yet rewarding job. The efforts involved in solving educational and psychological problems of students, along with constant pressure to meet professional standards, often lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. And we must not forget... the interaction with parents, who are often not ready to listen to the teacher and do not always communicate respectfully. How can one not lose inspiration, faith in the meaning of their work, and continue to enjoy interacting with children in these circumstances?

Psychologist and educator Amy L. Eva offers 52 effective practices — one for each week of the year. The exercises and ideas for reflection will help you develop compassion, mindful attention, psychological resilience, and regain a sense of purpose — so you can go to school every day with self-confidence and inspiration. In this book, you will also find strategies for collaboration with colleagues — to create a more positive atmosphere in the school and support systems that provide a sense of significance, belonging to a community, and cohesion among teachers and students.
