My Secret to Avoiding Teacher Burnout | Honest Chat & Update

It’s the third week of school and I FINALLY feel like I am coming up for air and staying afloat… I’ve checked off a lot of the usual “back to school” tasks from my to-do list and have finally gotten a little ahead in my lesson planning. Now that I am feeling less overwhelmed, I wanted to have an honest chat with you about the dreaded TEACHER BURNOUT! With burnout being so common in the teaching profession, I wanted to share a few simple things I do to help avoid it. I’m obviously not an expert and what works for me is not necessarily what will work for you, but I wanted to share my thoughts just in case they are helpful for you too! __________________________________________________________________ 🎥 SUBSCRIBE TO POCKETFUL OF PRIMARY: https://www.youtube.com/pocketfulofprimary?sub_confirmation=1 VLOG PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzMt-laLU9XwfKSOykTpRq2IGVustA-U8 🍎🛒 CLASSROOM 2025-2026 AMAZON LIST: https://amzn.to/3H8VQEw CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 1:13 How I’m preventing teacher burnout 3:26 Make yourself happy 7:48 Find your glimmers 11:11 New Chromebook organization 12:34 Our class cheers 13:14 Be proud of yourself 13:59 Science and math word walls 16:35 Daily slides update 19:17 Team planning system 21:20 Have something to look forward to 24:08 End of the day check-in 26:38 Shopping for a fall themed date night 30:38 Outro 🌈 EXPO NEON DRY ERASE MARKERS: https://amzn.to/4oXrB4r 💻🎥 DAILY SLIDES OVERVIEW VLOG: https://youtu.be/Fpth0l5DZZ8 🌈💻 BRIGHT GOOGLE SLIDES TEMPLATES: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bright-Google-Slides-Templates-With-Timers-EDITABLE-8468972?st=4dfdbac3189653cc0ea8cde19c535305 📝🎥 COLLABORATIVE PLANNING TIPS FOR TEACHERS VIDEO: https://youtu.be/JqegrsC_o6k 🔐💻 ESCAPE THE SCHOOL DIGITAL ESCAPE ROOM TEMPLATE: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Escape-the-School-Digital-Escape-Room-Template-EDITABLE-10401007?st=b142e44c2a4fdd8c51ca0c64e8ffd112 __________________________________________________________________ 🍏 TEACHERSPAYTEACHERS STORE: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Pocketful-Of-Primary 📖🥇🍎 FIRST CLASS TEACHING BOOK: Amazon - https://amzn.to/4b8C3hp Audible - https://www.audible.com/pd/First-Class-Teaching-Audiobook/B0C3FQVJN2 Audiobooks - https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/first-class-teaching-10-lessons-you-dont-learn-in-college/673960 🛒 AMAZON FAVORITES: http://bit.ly/pocketfulofprimarystore 🍎🛒🖤 CLASSROOM AMAZON WISHLIST: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1JLJUE48YFDLO?ref_=wl_share 🍎 POCKETFUL OF PRIMARY MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PocketfulofPrimary?ref=search_shop_redirect __________________________________________________________________ Find me on my other social media platforms: INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/pocketfulofprimary FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/PocketfulofPrimary/ PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/pocketfulofprim/ PODCAST: https://teachingonthedouble.com/podcasts/ WEBSITE: www.pocketfulofprimary.com For business inquiries, please contact: pocketfulofprimary@gmail.com __________________________________________________________________ *My description includes referral codes/links that allow me to earn points or credit that can be redeemed for products and/or subscriptions.
