Make It Mindful: An Education Podcast

Is teacher burnout preventable or inevitable? In this episode, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Lauren Pinto, and Komal Shah dive into the hot topic of teacher burnout, something that has increased in the nation (especially post-pandemic) and has been one of the leading factors of "The Great Teacher Resignation." We take a closer look at our own experiences in the classroom, and how we led ourselves to burnout through the "unsaid" expectations and pressures we put on the job and our students. Throughout the conversation, we ask ourselves the key question - is teaching just an innately altruistic career or can we become more mindful to make it sustainable year over year? In this episode, we will cover:- The link between martyrdom and teaching - The unsaid pressures of our kids' futures - Preventative measures for teacher burnout Co-Host Links:Seth FleischauerFounder and President of Banyan Global LearningLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-fleischauer/Website: https://banyangloballearning.com/Lauren PintoCofounder of Ambitious Ed, Educational Technology SpecialistLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-s-pinto/Website: https://www.ambitioused.com/Komal ShahSpeaker, Author, & EntrepreneurLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/consultkomalWebsite: https://thekomalshah.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/Raise-Your-Hand-Consciousness-Education-ebook/dp/B09FNT6B45/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Enjoying the show?
