Why am I doing this? Is this still right for me? Why am I not finding the same type of joy and meaning in my work that I once did? These are a few of the questions that many educators grapple with when experiencing burnout. In a profession that is especially grueling for justice-oriented folks, how do we sustain talented, dedicated, super-dope educators who are questioning whether they still have it? This week we’re joined by Rebekah Shoaf and Meredith Matson–authors of Educating with Passion and Purpose: Keep the Fire Going Without Burning Out–to explore burnout and sustainability. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a high school graduation being postponed for its lack of graduates and a downright awful move by Michigan to address chronic absenteeism.
