Mindful Teaching
This 6-day ERASMUS+ teacher training course is designed for teachers of all levels and school staff who want to learn effective strategies to prevent burnout and cultivate a mindful approach to teaching.
Description
Participants will explore the causes and symptoms of burnout, as well as various mindfulness techniques that can be integrated into the classroom to promote teacher wellbeing and improve student learning outcomes.
Burnout in teachers can be caused by a variety of factors, including high workloads, long hours, and limited support from colleagues or administrators.
Additionally, some teachers may feel a sense of isolation or disconnection from their work, or experience a lack of autonomy and control over their teaching environment. Over time, these stressors can take a significant toll on teachers' physical and mental health, leading to burnout. This can manifest in a variety of ways, including exhaustion, irritability, and reduced job satisfaction, which can ultimately impact the quality of instruction and support provided to students.
Burnout is a serious issue that affects many teachers worldwide, even leading to leaving the teaching profession entirely. In addition, teacher burnout can also have an indirect effect on students' academic performance, as it can affect the quality of instruction, classroom management, and teacher-student relationships.
By addressing burnout prevention and promoting mindfulness practices for teacher well-being, we aim to create a more positive and productive teaching environment that supports the needs of both teachers and their students.
