Stress and burnout are eroding teachers' motivation, performance, quality of classroom interactions, and relationships with students, as well as their commitment to the profession. Principals are leaving in droves, and teacher shortages are becoming the new normal. Our teachers are underappreciated and our schools underresourced. But, as the author of Mindfulness for Teachers and The Trauma-Sensitive Classroom points out, educators themselves have the power to alter this downward spiral.

Educational psychologist Tish Jennings presents a matrix of stress-causing factors that lead to burnout, and shows how teachers can tackle the sources of stress at each pressure point. From the development of social and emotional competencies?so important to teachers and students alike?to the achievement of systemic change through collective efficacy, she offers hope and practical remedies for overcoming a toxic trend in education.

Reviews for Teacher Burnout Turnaround: Strategies for Empowered Educators

"A critically important read for all educators and staff in this time of unpredictability.--Lori Desautels, PhD, Assistant Professor, Butler University Dig deeper into the lives of people who eventually 'beat the odds, ' and you'll likely find human relationships that helped. And quite possible, one of those relationships will have been with a teacher: one who helped them believe in themselves, whatever their life circumstances-- a teacher like Patricia Jennings. After reading Patricia's new book, I'm reminded that our greatest source of strength may actually be each other.--Mark Katz, PhD, author of Children Who Fail at School but Suceed at Life and On Playing a Poor Hand Well Timely, relevant, and necessary. In these unprecedented times, Patricia Jennings provides readers with a valuable resource steeped in history, research, powerful anecdotes, and illuminating frameworks that help to support teachers.--Tyrone C. Howard, Pritzker Family Endowed Chair of Education, University of California, Los Angeles Teacher Burnout Turnaround empowers teachers to change the education system from within in ways that will improve both their own and their students' well-being.--Christi Bergin, PhD, Associate Dean of Research & Innovation, College of Education, University of Missouri, and author of Designing a Prosocial Classroom Jennings's primary tool of transformation is 'design thinking'--seeing the school as a multifaceted system with the student 'user' at its heart. She emphasizes the value in putting the learner-user first, practicing empathy by putting ourselves in their shoes...Teacher Burnout Turnaround is more about thinking than feeling. Jennings urges a cognitive shift in our awareness that is refreshing, inspiring, and even collectively empowering.-- ""Greater Good Magazine"""
