Preventing Burnout in CS Education
Teacher burnout has always been a problem in the field of education; however, the past couple of years has exacerbated the issue. With teacher shortages continuing to be an issue across the nation, we need to discuss strategies for preventing burnout in the field.
In addition, computer science teachers face unique challenges when it comes to finding work-life balance. In this session, we will provide a summary of strategies that more than 50 CS educators have shared in interviews on the #CSK8 Podcast, as well as best practices and ideas from productivity science. Attendees will not only learn from other CS educators, but will share their own strategies for staying mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy, even in today’s education landscape.
