Teaching is an amazing profession that provides achievements and exhaustion in equal measures. Whilst there are undoubtably a host of rewards, the jobs list can appear endless, and there are many demands on our time. Many teaching staff try to save rest and relaxation time until the weekend – or worse still, school holidays – which could lead to exhaustion or total burnout. We need to take responsibility for our self-care to ensure our wellbeing remains at a good level, enabling us to be resilient and bounce back if difficulties arise.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to share tips and ideas for self-care and managing time and workload.
