The topic is pertinent to my teaching experience. I have already made some changes, based on the class, to prevent teacher burnout. I love that it is self paced, but I still received meaningful feedback.

Some of the assignments I had to do took me a while and felt very long. However, the class was helpful and I feel like I can use what I learned in real life. The professor was also helpful. He was also open to listening. He is one of the main reasons I took this course. I have taken other courses from him and I like how he conducts the courses he teaches. I recommend him to other teacher friends that are looking for continuing their education.

The class, Teacher Burnout: Prevention & Recovery, is a comprehensive class that gives a variety of helpful and practical suggestions for teachers, at any point in their career. Most importantly, the class helped me evaluate how to better use my time and efforts as a teacher. The class is organized and the professor is friendly and on top of things. Most of the readings and assignments are in short chunks, and a few of the assignments take longer to complete. The class fit in well to my open time in the evenings and weekends.

I think every teacher should take this course-no matter how many years in you have or whether you feel burned out (yet) or not. I wish I had taken this years ago but also appreciate the post-covid timing of this experience. Taking the course in the summer also provided me an opportunity to get some distance from some of my most stressed out feelings-highly recommend as a summer reboot course to get ready for a strong start to a new school year.
