Listen "16-Tackling Teacher Burnout"
Episode Synopsis
Teacher workforce retention and attrition have become hot topics in the field of education.
I myself experienced a severe burnout a year ago, and realized that I needed to make a change.
Since then, I've had a chance to think and reflect...could there have been anything done to keep me on the job?
Are there structural changes we can make to public education that would incentivize teachers to stay in the profession? And even MORE importantly...are there changes we can make to incentivize the best PEOPLE to become teachers?
This is just the first of many episodes geared toward improving America's education system.
There is a ton that is wrong with public education in my view, but that doesn't mean there are not solutions out there. The future of our country is worth fighting for.
