Burned out? Yeah you could say that! Maybe it's this time of year, or maybe it is the heat. Whatever the cause it is definitely happening, and only in year 3 of teaching, I'm in trouble! The article talks about our brains going into survival mode. I can say that I am auto pilot at this pint, and am trying my best to liven up my lessons to re-engage students who have checked out, and a teacher who is counting down the days right alongside them!:) In all honestly, I love my class and will be sad to see them go but for now I can blame the burnout on my neurons, RIGHT!?!
