The Burned-In Teacher Podcast is all about going from burned-out educator to BURNED-IN human. On this show, I interview teachers who are or have gone through burnout and they share with us what they are doing or have done in the past to beat it. I also interview experts in the field of teacher burnout, education, productivity, happiness, and basically all things BURN IN. There will also be episodes where I share my own experiences and answer questions from listeners and Burned-In Teacher Community Members.

Flashback to Episode 48: Challenging the "Good Teacher" Narrative with Alexis Shepard

May 23, 2022

In this episode, I talk with Alexis Shepard; a former educator that used her experience with burnout to create a platform - The AfroEducator - to empower teachers to live and teach more authentically.  Together, we define what the “good teacher” narrative is and how the stories that teachers tell themselves - and accept - can further deepen the feelings and effects of burnout.  In this episode, Alexis shares strategies that you can use to maintain a positive mindset and to challenge the “good teacher” narrative so you can live and teach more authentically and show up in your life as your best self.
