Change the System or Change the Teacher? Why Teachers Should Work on Themselves First
In this powerful episode of The Next Level Teacher, Brenna explores the real teacher burnout definition and challenges the idea that systemic change alone will fix the emotional and mental exhaustion many educators face.
We often look to external solutions—lower class sizes, better testing policies, or more classroom support—to solve the teacher burnout crisis. While these are important, they aren't enough.
Burnout is not just a result of the education system—it’s an emotional experience rooted in unmanaged stress, pressure, and internal thought patterns.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
** The most accurate and helpful teacher burnout definition
** Why time off (like summer break) won’t fix burnout long-term
** The power of an “inside-out” approach to emotional resilience
** Why building inner strength is essential before we try to change the system
** Practical tools and free resources to help you reset this summer
