She Taught Yale's Most Popular College Class Ever on Happiness. Then She Burnt Out
This article is proof that no one is immune from burnout and dips in emotion. Speak with colleagues, possibly get professional help, and surround yourself with positive people.
The key to beating burnout is the same as the key to mental wellbeing generally, Santos insists. Do things that actually make people happy, even if you don't feel like it at first. ...
Finding time for these things often means cutting back on other activities that may feel hard to give up. More nights out with friends means dragging yourself away from the latest addictive Netflix show. Finding time for an identity-enriching, happiness-boosting hobby will probably entail turning down some work commitments (research suggests this will actually improve your professional performance in the long run).

College Teaching Workshops: Classroom LIGHTBULBS for College Professors
THE CLASSROOM - In this interactive session, I will show you easy-to-replicate teaching methods: how I conduct the first day of class; the icebreaker technique I use to start every class; why I rarely use PowerPoint; interactive classroom modules; individual and team projects; extra credit projects; how to prepare students for multiple choice and essay exams; and an exam gift for graduating seniors.
Binder’s Reminders for Classroom Motivation
THE LIGHTBULBS - This session illustrates how to stay
motivated and focused on classroom excellence.
The
LIGHTBULBS acronym highlights ten universal qualities of master teachers. Each letter of the LIGHTBULBS is supported with
unique teaching perspectives on student engagement, compassion, and justice, as
told through humorous, serious, and relatable stories from the classroom and life
experiences. These anecdotes serve as an
easy way to remember to apply the acronym and get fired up to teach before walking into class. You are prompted to think
about your most memorable adventures from the classroom and beyond. On days when you feel unmotivated to teach,
re-read these notes as a reminder of the value you bring into the classroom and
your students’ lives.
