[quote=Anonymous][quote] I work as a digital events specialist and I would like to address the issue of teacher burnout while teaching online FT. I see this type of burnout in my own industry frequently, however it is easier to be flexible and take time to recharge. Most of our teachers have not been trained to teach in a digital environment full-time very day. Teaching online requires vastly different energy utilization and I feel that the the current proposed teaching schedules will cause massive burnout for many of our teachers.

The learning environment for our children will be completely different and each child will have a different way of adapting to this new environment and the teacher will need to adjust to this new learning environment and be able to assist their students as well as parents. The facilitation of content will be different and teachers will need to be flexible to adjust if necessary. Parents will be able to observe and question teaching styles and this may cause additional stress for teachers. Keep in mind, contrary to my own job where I facilitate perhaps a few meetings a month, the teachers will be expected to be at peak performance every day during this entire 2020/2021 school year. Expectations from their employer and parents will be high.

I don't believe that this learning model will be sustainable over the long run.[/quote]

OP, thank you for caring enough about teachers' well-being to post this.
