ACHIEVING A WORK-LIFE BALANCE IN TEACHING
Teaching responsibilities can infiltrate your entire life if you let them. After-school activities, grading, and lesson planning can creep into your off hours and blur the lines between work and the rest of your life.
Work–life balance means feeling engaged, effective, and satisfied in each aspect of life. In this course, you will develop a set of practical, customizable strategies to help you work smarter, not harder. Time management, organizational skills, and emotional groundedness are key skills that you will master to help you feel calm, in control, and able to focus on your students. You will learn to increase your productivity at work and feel more satisfied with your life both inside and outside the classroom.
A balanced teacher is a teacher who can connect with, inspire, and help his or her students achieve personal and academic success. By the end of this course, you will have the skills you need to be present and effective at school and beyond.
