- W345494094 abstract "A number of years ago I shared with a seasoned teacher that I was burnedout in my job as an agriscience teacher. I still remember his laughter when he learned that I was only in my first year of teaching. However, the experienced teacher quickly asked me about my feelings of burnout. At the time, I wondered if he thought our profession was soon to lose another one of its novice teachers. Burnout can mean different things to different people. Carter (1994) defined teacher burnout as physical, emotional, and attitudinal exhaustion that begins with a feeling of uneasiness and mounts as the joy of teaching begins to gradually slip away. I don't think that I was losing my joy of teaching, but I did feel overworked and exhausted, and I was aware that several of my peers had indeed left the profession early in their careers. I was just starting my teaching career and having some challenges in trying to build a fairly new program. I was getting stressed because I always wanted everything and everyone around me to be perfect. I knew that I desired to remain in the profession and was determined to give it my best effort. So, what was it that kept me in the profession? Upon reflection, I realized that: * I had a good support system within my school and school district, from administrators to colleagues and peers. This included fellow agriscience teachers from the surrounding area with whom I could visit, ask questions, get advice, and share ideas. * Graduate school: I began my masters program on a part-time basis during my first year of teaching. Besides learning great course content, this three-year odyssey allowed me to network with new peers including teachers from other disciplines, develop a wider support system, and stay connected with university faculty. * I became active on the state and national levels in the professional education associations which represented agricultural education and career and technical education. I began holding leadership positions at a relatively young age and had the opportunity for professional development through travel, workshops, and networking with people within my state and from throughout the country. * I established an Advisory Council which helped me to connect with the needs of the community and to provide feedback for the direction of my program. * I developed a good relationship with my local and district school administration. This involved constant communication and transparency. * I placed a high priority on community relations which involved building relationships with business and families as a result of supervised agricultural experience programs and meeting incoming freshmen students. I also became involved in local civic and church activities. * After several years, I also learned to separate my personal time from school, although I dare say that most of us never totally master this! This meant leaving work behind at school, such as grading papers. This also included heeding the advice of a wise colleague who told me, Don't be a hero - take your summer vacation days. * I also developed a good rhythm of class organization and management. I recall a lunch time conversation at the teachers' table in the cafeteria during my sixth year of teaching when I mentioned that I felt that things seemed to be getting much easier in the classroom with less stress. One of the more seasoned teachers remarked, Well, Brad, that's called experience. I certainly don't claim that I had a perfect teaching experience during years one through seven, but my successful induction was a mixture of great undergraduate preparation and personal initiative coupled with the good fortune of working in a supportive environment. However, even amidst such a positive situation, I still had to do my part to make things happen. I challenged myself to further develop my teaching skills and to build trusting relationships with colleagues, the community, and administrators. …" @default.
