Thursday 13th March · 3:30 - 5pm GMT
You may be familiar enough with the latest concerning statistics around the teacher retention and recruitment crisis. Equally challenging for schools is the rise in staff absence due to stress, anxiety and depression. There is no doubt that working in the current education system comes with huge personal and professional challenges; experiences of ‘burnout’ are on the rise. But what really is burnout? Is it inevitable or avoidable? What can educators and schools do to help prevent it? And how can we recover if we suspect we are at risk?
Looking training programmes? Click Academy features sector leading F2F and Webinar training programmes in social care and education.
In this training we will explore:
- Understanding what burnout is and isn’t and how our first line of defence is understanding and prevention
- Why we might be at risk – understanding the physiology of anxiety and stress
- Burnout as a safeguarding risk – empathy and compassion fatigue
- Swimming not drowning – harnessing power and flow
- Exploring practical self-care and organisational-care practices that work – (so much more than doughnuts in the staffroom!)
- Reconnecting with our values and the ‘craft’ of teaching within an accountability culture
- Intentionality and responsibility in care planning for better health – Be well to teach well
Through addressing a better understanding of what burnout actually is and why it happens, staff and school leaders are better able to support themselves, their teams, and ultimately the children they are wanting to serve. Burnout does not have to be inevitable and once it is understood, there is so much more we can do to support ourselves and our school communities.
The cost of this is £7.99 per person but if you book before 1st March, you will receive our early bird price of £5.99. We hope that you will join us for this session.
