Workplace burnout is a serious condition that hinders an instructor’s ability to effectively teach students. But did you know there is a negative space just before burnout that is reversible?
In this webinar, Dr. Rachel Gallardo of Blinn College will discuss compassion fatigue, identifying key behavioral/cognitive processes that can help you recognize the signs of fatigue, and key ways to reverse this fatigue. Dr. Gallardo believes instructors cannot be effective educators if they don’t also take care of themselves. During this talk, you’ll have a chance to recognize the various aspects of fatigue and work to reduce them in order to help you remain an effective educator.
