| Fulfilling the Promise: Protecting "We the People" from Burnout |
| All of me, why not take all of me?…" These words from a Willie Nelson song are often on target after a few years of working in education. The environment in which we work is not always conducive to wellness. This workshop provides basic information regarding burnout among those in education. Through a brief survey instrument, participants assess their own level of job satisfaction/burnout. Presenters then present guidelines/suggestions for burnout prevention programming. Participants develop a "Personal Action Plan" to mediate their own occupational stress, share stress mediation "best practices" from their own experience, and brainstorm practical applications for various settings. |
