Taking Care of Yourself: Resources to Help with Teacher Self-Care
posted by: Melissa | June 22, 2017, 06:26 PM   

More than many other occupations, education is missional in nature. Educators are well aware that how well a child is educated will drive their success later on in life and popular culture often heightens this with movies and books that focus on how a single, passionate educator can “save” a child from the dismal life that awaits them. Schools, too, often suffering from low budgets and lack of staff encourage educators to take on extra duties and go the extra mile. While none of this is bad in and of itself, it creates a situation where educators feel as if they must always do more and try harder, making it easy to lose themselves in the mission.


This striving leads to an unsustainable pace, and it’s easy for educators to become burned out. This is why one of the most important things an educator can do is take care of themselves. Self-care is not a “nice to have” goal for when you have time to pursue it. For a classroom teacher it is the foundation that allows a teacher to give their students the focus and energy they deserve.


If this is an area that you struggle with, you are not alone. Numerous resources exist to help teachers with their physical, emotional, and mental health. Check out a few of them below:
