Teacher burnout is the emotional feeling and psychological state of exhaustion, boredom and frustration caused by the accumulation of long-term fatigue and stress as well as the lack of sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy. This is a negative mentality. It manifests as being unhappy at work, feeling that life is boring, thinking that one's work is not recognized, and being full of stress, fatigue, and frustration. Teacher burnout is a highly contagious virus. It is normal for teachers to have professional burnout, just like people often catch a cold, and excellent teachers are most likely to suffer from professional burnout. Burnout is just a crossroads in life. If handled properly, you may be able to find a new direction in educating your life, turning crises into opportunities, and turning opportunities into opportunities for growth again. So, how to overcome teacher burnout? I think we can work on the following points:
1. Keep a normal mind.
Some teachers have lofty educational ideals, full enthusiasm for work, and relatively high goals. Once work stagnates for a while, or work pressure increases, it is easy to develop burnout. A person's time, energy and ability are limited, and not everyone can climb Mount Everest. Teachers need to act according to their ability, face up to their own abilities and levels, their own energy and time, have moderate demands on themselves, not too high, properly evaluate their own work, and do not demand full blame from themselves. In good times, your mind is calm; in times of adversity, your mind is calm. Always maintain a normal mind.
2. Rekindle the fire of passion.
To overcome burnout, you must rekindle your passion. Education requires passion, because education is a dialogue between the souls, an activity of heart-to-heart connection, an activity that inspires the heart with the heart and is passionate with emotion. Passion makes education inspiring and shocking, adds luster to education, and makes teachers rejuvenated and work energetically. Yu Yi said: Passion is an essential quality for teachers. American scholar Weiwu said in "Passion, Makes a Teacher": Those who want to be a good teacher may in most cases be more ambitious and passionate. Greatness is at least partly the result of talent, which cannot be spread. However, a great teacher must be a passionate teacher. This passion refers to the warm embrace of life, the strong love for the world, the persistent pursuit of dreams, and the indomitable questioning of all the unknown. What touches people's hearts is nothing but love. Teachers are passionate and it is easy to overcome burnout.
3. Continuously improve your professional level, gain a new sense of accomplishment, and achieve new results.
Here’s a recipe for overcoming burnout. If your professional level continues to improve, leaping from one height to a new height, and your work will be valued by leaders, praised by colleagues, recognized by students, and affirmed by parents, you will gain a new sense of accomplishment. After gaining a new sense of accomplishment, you will be more enthusiastic about work and research, thereby further improving your level. This forms a virtuous cycle, and burnout will naturally disappear.
4. Enrich your life and improve your quality of life.
The essence of education is to allow educated people to enjoy happiness and pursue happiness. In this way, teachers engaged in education should first enjoy happiness and become happy people. And we ask teachers too much to be candles and torches, to burn themselves and illuminate others. It's really too tragic and tragic. Teachers work hard and die, often sacrificing their own time, sacrificing their own health, even sacrificing their own families, and sacrificing their children's future. He has been working on the front line of education for many years. This kind of spiritual exhaustion will naturally lead to a sense of burnout when encountering special circumstances. To change this situation, teachers should listen to music, dance, participate in physical exercises, and travel with their families during holidays to enrich their lives, use happiness to shape happiness, and use beauty to guide beauty.
5. Continuous innovation.
Some teachers have worked for five or ten years and obtained the corresponding professional titles. They feel that they have thoroughly understood the teaching materials and mastered the teaching methods, so they follow the steps step by step, and willingly repeat yesterday's story, resulting in year after year. Yueyuehua has a similar feeling, and career burnout naturally arises. In fact, education is an eternally young career, and every day of education is a timeless, beautiful and touching poem; every day of education has dreams that make people yearn for it, dreams that inspire unremitting struggle.
Teachers believe that children’s hearts are blue and vast, and that children are like budding flowers that are growing every day. Teachers with this concept will have a strong sense of mission and responsibility, and will continue to innovate, even if they have taught Textbooks that have been used several times must also be rethought and lessons prepared again. Innovative teachers believe that the sun is new every day and will compose a new educational movement.
6. Give your mind a holiday and give yourself a certain amount of leisure.
Professional burnout is exhausting and painful, and is the main culprit that prevents the healthy and harmonious development of some teachers’ professional lives. For this reason, we cannot keep our eyes open year after year and be so busy that we turn out the lights. If people are too nervous or too tired, it will affect their physical and mental health. Teachers' work is increasingly valued by society and parents. It is an indisputable fact that parents have higher and higher demands on teachers and teachers are under increasing pressure. Teachers should be good at combining work and rest, allowing them to relax and give themselves a certain amount of leisure. For example, after class, do not rush to work at your desk. You can close your eyes and rest, think about nothing, do nothing, and rest completely for ten minutes. Minutes eight minutes. Within a week, find an appropriate time to give your mind a break. Doing so will help you adjust your mindset, soothe your soul and relieve stress.
7. Be tolerant and make friends.
The road to education will not always be smooth sailing, with the sun shining brightly and applause thundering. After outstanding teachers achieve results, they will inevitably encounter sarcasm, sarcasm, and even groundless slander, which will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire of professional burnout. . what to do? Be tolerant and generous. It is best to turn hostility into friendship and forget grudges when we meet. You can also make a few close friends. Have a heart-to-heart talk, help each other, and encourage each other. When you encounter something that doesn't go your way, open your heart and talk to your friends about your troubles and anguish. In this way, the sky of the soul will clear up after rain.
