In this episode, Lee, a Spanish teacher from Georgia, talks about how to manage teacher burnout and re-kindle the joy in teaching again. He shares with us valuable wisdom he has learned throughout his career in teaching, which he once left because of burnout and damage to his vocal cords. Lee says that the voice is a teacher’s most precious tool, and that we need to use it to get to know our students and their stories. He also relates how teaching is about helping students to discover life lessons that will build character and make them good global citizens. Finally, Lee enlightens us to the pitfalls of cognitive distortions, the power of a smile and getting to know that “person behind the mask”. Listen and be ready for a lot of ah-ha pinging and heart singing! Then, share with a teacher you feel is struggling and needs to be lifted up to find joy again in teaching!
