195. From the SEA: Coping Skills for Teachers - Why You Need to Take a Break
As most of us are entering winter break, it is the perfect time for a little teacher self-care reminder. We hear a lot about self-care and coping skills for teachers, but as teachers, we often think that if we take a break, we will fall behind. The truth is that taking breaks actually makes you a better special education teacher!
In this episode, I am giving you a sneak peek at an episode from the private podcast inside the Special Educator Academy. I am sharing five reasons you should be taking a break (without feeling guilty!) over winter break. I’d love to hear why you’re taking a break. Send me a DM on Instagram @autismclassroomresources, and let me know how you are recharging over winter break.
05:01 - Why you should be taking time to focus on what’s truly important
06:25 - How scheduled breaks help you recharge
07:28 - Why stepping away from work allows you to keep things in perspective
08:30 - How taking a break promotes creativity (and why you need creativity as a special education teacher!)
10:30 - Why taking breaks is key to preventing burnout
