This past school year sure has had its challenges that have been weighing heavy on the hearts of many educators. This added “weight” fosters feelings of burnout due to the lack of control and not knowing what new challenge is right around the corner. When you recognize that those feelings are happening, it’s important to stop, slow down, and look for solutions to your current challenges.
In this episode, I share an interview with Beth Williams. She's a 17-year veteran teacher from Manchester who, in an effort to identify signs, symptoms, and solutions to her own burnout created four pillars of wellness that she comes back to anytime things feel off.
Beth Williams is a Science teacher in Manchester, England who is on a mission to help other teachers find their inner warrior and sunshine by implementing her 4 pillar plan.
