You as an Educator are stressed.
And why wouldn't you be?
With mounting demands in and out of the classroom, educators are underpaid and overworked which can lead to teacher burnout.
With the pressures of deadlines, test scores, undertaking responsibilities that fall in the parenting domain, and a new "normal" that physical harm is an ever-present danger in the school environment...
A staggering 44%* of all teachers leave the profession within 5 years of entering the workplace due to overwhelming stress.
You are constantly expected to bring in the latest and greatest experiences for your students, but what about enhancing your experience? What about your continuing education?
