Burning Out? Don't Let it Happen!


At conference time every year, stress levels rise and we need to breathe and reflect on why we are educators.   I hope you spent the weekend resting and enjoying time with families and friends.

I am so proud of the professionalism and care you show families.  Your knowledge of their children is amazing.  Your dedication to doing whatever it takes to help them succeed is inspiring.  I always put myself in the shoes of the families to see if they understand our love and high expectations we hold for every student at Hudson Prairie.  I know they appreciate the work we do for their kids.

We chose this profession because we believe we can make a profound difference in the life of children.  We love learning and we want to share that with our students.  We need to keep this in the forefront of our day especially when stress levels rise.

Questions we can ask ourselves include:


  • Why did you want to be a teacher?
  • How can we prioritize our day?
  • How can we celebrate our work?
  • How can we keep our passion burning?


Here are great tips to keep our fire burning at school.
10-Ways-for-Teachers-to-Keep-the-Fire-Burning


The 11th tip is knowing that Spring Break is 2 weeks away and hopefully warm weather will come.  Have a great week.
