The document discusses factors that contribute to teacher burnout and offers strategies to prevent it. It states that a school's climate and the quality of a student's education are directly linked to the well-being and quality of its staff. Individual staff members' health, happiness, attitudes and behaviors influence the overall staff climate. To reduce burnout, teachers should identify what makes for good and bad days at work, increase positive interactions and decrease negative ones. Focusing on fulfillment, well-being and reducing stress can help teachers sustain their passion for the profession.
