How to Rewire Your Burned-Out Brain: Tips from a Neurologist | Edutopia

How to Rewire Your Burned-Out Brain: Tips from a Neurologist | Edutopia

I thought this article was interesting because I think at this time of year we are all feeling the burn-out. 
Student behavior can sometimes become frustrating and I know I begin to wonder what am I doing wrong. According to this article we all need to know that we are not alone and feeling burnt out is not a reflection on aur ability to teach. We are teaching in a tough time, large class sizes and dwindling resources make our jobs even more difficult. The article then goes on to talk about how to rewire our brains so that we don't feel the burn-out. I am planning on giving it a try, even though we only have 10 days left in actual teaching days left at our school.

  1. Thanks for giving the link to this article! I agree with you that at this time of year, burn-out is definitely a problem. I am not sure who is counting down our remaining days more...the kids or us!! (7 more wake up days!!) I, too, am going to try the suggestions...they can't hurt!
