Q1: What do you feel are the top 2 things that cause teacher burnout? #TXed

HelenWilt May 18 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A1 Too much paper work & lack of support when behavior problems occur #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A1-This time of year there is just so much to get done: grades, projects, field trips, meetings, graduation. #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A1: I think paperwork and the pressure of testing are two biggies. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd @BelyndaBillings @bsammer Oh...He is laying down the challenge to you two 😮🤔 #TXed

IvantheAggie May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A1: I think mindset and not communicating with your people can cause you to burn out . #txed

JofeeTremain May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A1: last second changes and misunderstanding end of year expectations causes burnout #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:41 PM EDT

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A1 I would like to add I don't have teacher burn-out. I have a great support. but I am teacher tired! ha! #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@JofeeTremain Last second changes are a big hit all year long. "Oh, didn't we tell you?" doesn't work anymore. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie Welcome back brother! #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@PenroseTutoring Welcome to the chat Randy #TXed

Bstamm00 May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A1 I think burnout for educators has a lot to do with boundaries. We don't allow ourselves the ability let things go. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@PenroseTutoring Glad you can join us Randy. What do you feel are the two biggest things that cause teacher burnout? #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Big difference between the two...tired and burnout. #txed https://t.co/By9D14W0mZ

A1-Wait on results from the STAAR. Pressure and burnout #TXed

MrsMurrayAg07 May 18 @ 9:44 PM EDT

PenroseTutoring May 18 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A1: Too many meetings #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:45 PM EDT

This is a great point! Letting go may mean not reaching a child. Great teachers cannot let that happen. #txed https://t.co/VEqyr3fQQM

JofeeTremain May 18 @ 9:45 PM EDT

If we are organized and continue to monitor our structures, teachers will stress less about changes. #txed https://t.co/86apsTumCa

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@JofeeTremain Last second changes are a big hit all year long. "Oh, didn't we tell you?" doesn't work anymore. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator May 18 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd yes! I wanted to make that distinction. :) #txed burn out is hard to recover from. teacher tired is fixed by recharging.

TXEDMod - Moderator May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Question 2 is coming up! #TXed

jodiforeman May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Sorry- running late, but I am here! Jodi in Katy, TX. Hi #txed

matthew_arend May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A1: not being supported & the many initiatives that come and go. #txed

Bstamm00 May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Great point! It is certainly a trap! Difficult to get away from! #txed https://t.co/UrYUbQ25Fr

bsammer May 18 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A1 Testing and falling into the negativity trap. It spreads like wildfire and all of the sudden everyone is burned out #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@bsammer Agree. It is easy to jump on the bandwagon all year, but expecially the end of the year, with negativity. #txed

jenemitchell May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A1 - too much paperwork and lack of support with curriculum #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@matthew_arend Howdy Matt. Glad you could make it! #TXed

Bstamm00 May 18 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@matthew_arend Glad you're here Matt! #txed

PenroseTutoring May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd Ah, only put one. Too many meetings and resistance from admin when wanting to work outside the box #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q2: What hobbies do you have to help take your mind off your job? #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@jodiforeman No worries Jodi. Glad you are here. #TXed

darylhowardphd May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Good eve #TXed, Daryl from MD stopping in. Testing & parents who finally realize their child is struggling & now finally want to save them.

matthew_arend May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

As some of shared, I'd reiterate being tired and being burnt out are 2 different things #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@jenemitchell Hey Jennifer! Thought you were trivia bound tonight so didn't even challenge you to join tonight! Glad U R here! #txed

IvantheAggie May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2 I like getting out on the tennis court!! Helps the legs and the lungs!! #txed

PenroseTutoring May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie Nice! Meetings are not for going over the calendar :-( #txed

oJaison May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2: I read, watch Netflix, attend concerts, art exhibits, startup stuff, blog (now), and respond belatedly to emails for hobbies #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator May 18 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@matthew_arend agree. i just need sleep, reading, conferences, a few normal lunches and I am good to go for next year! #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@PenroseTutoring Agree with both. The second can really add the stress. You are working to improve and can't find support. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@darylhowardphd Glad you can join us Daryl. #txed

JofeeTremain May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: attending church/praying, watching movies, shopping, reading, twitter chats, hanging with the family and working on my doctorate. #txed

oJaison May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: I like volunteering at @rawfullyorganic too. It's a lot of fun and a completely different crowd than what I usually run into. #txed

oJaison May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@darylhowardphd welcome, Daryl! I'm just jumping in too. #txed

IvantheAggie May 18 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@PenroseTutoring we've kept them to a minimum and used our dept heads to disseminate info. #txed

matthew_arend May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: church, running and my son's in Tee-Ball season #txed

Bstamm00 May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd correct, but not what time talking about. Our work canconsume us which is unhealthy for ourselves & families.Nobody wins #txed

jodiforeman May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2- to take mind off the job, I camp. In the woods, no electricity, cook over a fire. one weekend and reinvigorated. #txed

oJaison May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A1: I don't think we have healthy conversations about how to manage it all. What possible alternatives there may be. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2-Right now it is chasing my two girls #TXed

PenroseTutoring May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd A third would be complaining parents from year to year rather than supportive parents #txed

HelenWilt May 18 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2 Going to concerts & binge watching Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Shameless #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

IvantheAggie May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@HelenWilt I gotta get back on house of cards!! #txed

PenroseTutoring May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@IvantheAggie I like that. I always found that most stuff in the meetings could have easily been bullet points in an email #txed

JofeeTremain May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2: I forgot to mention, attending professional development conferences, etc. i.e. TEPSA. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2: time with family and anything outdoors. Hiking, camping, sports, fishing. Love the time together. #txed

bsammer May 18 @ 9:51 PM EDT

oJaison May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Do it! House of Cards is excellent! @IvantheAggie @HelenWilt #txed

darylhowardphd May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Motorcycles & martial arts clear my mind and help prevent burnout. Just typing that made me smile. Twitter chats too! #StressRelief #TXed

Bstamm00 May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A2 music keeps me sane. Try to sit down and just play a couple times a week. Beautiful release! #txed

oJaison May 18 @ 9:52 PM EDT

ASharpTeacher May 18 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A5: #txed depends- don't want 2 have pitty party or gossip fest. No time for that! But expressing concerns and solutions 2 move forward is +

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator May 18 @ 10:18 PM EDT
