Consequences of Burnout
At the risk of explaining the blindingly obvious: the consequences of burnout are almost always grave for teachers, regardless of seniority or experience. Efficiency and effectiveness can be severely impacted; and this not only affects careers, but it negatively impacts your students and your school. Creativity is diminished, so opportunities will be missed or dismissed; although energy and creativity may be expended in finding excuses to skip work, or stay off sick. Career burnout can also spill over into personal lives, negatively impacting physical health, mental health, friendships and families. On balance, not a good thing at all.
