Teacher Wellbeing & Career Support
You’re a person first and a teacher second
Teaching is a profession where the job is never done.
There are so many negative messages about how teachers aren’t doing enough, and even though intellectually we can detach from those messages, emotionally they still sink in. Many teachers are high achievers as well as caring a heck of a lot about our students, and we want nothing more than to do a great job and make an actual difference.
But this can be a recipe for burnout if we don’t stop and prioritise our own needs. Before flying they say fit your own oxygen mask before helping others. In helping professions, this is absolutely crucial. No use helping everyone else with their oxygen masks and then running out of air ourselves!
