Class. Agreed.

This is what teaching is all about. An oldie but a goodie! All teachers should watch this in my opinion.

Burnout isn't about hours worked.

In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.

Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,

And take steps to help.

Use this graphic to find causes of burnout in your organization.

These sheets are my non-negotiable in the first lesson! I've lost count of the number of times this sheet has given me key insights into pupils and helped me support other teachers with key students. Massive help for building valuable relationships with students.

@whitterswitters one for staff email at some point. Or perhaps in a CPD session.

@FunkyPedagogy My colleague from sunny Devon came and saw you at the British Library today. I literally think she’s had the best day out ever and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it next week as we’re both super fans. Great work! Cheers and have a great weekend! 👌🏼😄
